<p>You will not receive your PSAT score until early to mid-December, or later at some schools, so I would not wait for the return of the PSAT to take the SAT. You can prep for and take any of the Fall SAT dates as long as your practice scores are in range. Nov test will ‘count’ for NMF qualifier. </p>
<p>The qualifying score needed to confirm NMF status is not very high—1970 perhaps, so if your only goal is a confirming score, you should not have any problem. Now, if you are trying to attain a 2250+ SAT score, then I would practice until your scores are in that range. The Quantum site referenced above is great. My son found Gruber’s useful as math was also his weakest section.</p>
<p>If you exhaust the supply of practice tests linked above, you can always register for the CB on-line course, but I don’t think you will need that, given your starting point. </p>
<p>Oct is a QAS date so you can pay $18 to receive your test and answers via mail three to four weeks after scores are reported. This will show you where you made mistakes, in case you want to gear up and retake.</p>
