When to take the PSAT?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Dear CC family,</p>

<p>I have decided to advance (really much!!) D2 college journey by researching PSATs while i wait for D1’s acceptances this week - the last five of them. </p>

<p>D2 is currently in tenth grade in India. When should we aim to take the PSAT?</p>

<p>Now the story of D1:</p>

<p>D1’s journey has been completely totally helped by the CC family and I am so grateful to all of you. We have five accepts(BU, SUNY Stonybrook, Rider, Hofstra and UConn), Five rejects {NWU, MIT(way above dream!!), Rice, UVa, UNC (EAI)} and waiting on five (Brown, Cornell, Georgetown, Tufts).
What complicated this for us is that we are citizens in Bangalore India and everyone step, however little, has been a huge learning curve. </p>

<p>Keeping this in mind, I want to begin this process early on for my younger one. </p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated!!</p>

<p>Much thanks,</p>

<p>My school actually required me to take the PSAT in freshman and sophomore year. Since it’s only offered 2 days per year and your daughter is already in sophomore year, then there isn’t much she can do. The PSAT is not like the SAT that you can retake multiple times to practice, in high school you have 2 years before the real one. I’m assuming that she’ll be taking the PSAT at the same time as everyone else in 11th grade (October).</p>

<p>I may have made some assumptions above, but at this point, I’d recommend getting a book to study and working on practice tests from that.</p>

<p>(Please note: this is based on an American student, so I’m not sure of the restrictions you face)</p>

<p>I have written to the PSAT - about what my options are in India.
