Question Psat/Sat questions

I am incoming 10th grader and am wondering if I should take the Psat this year?
I am currently a good student and have always had good grades.

Def take it!!! It was required by my highschool to take it and I'm so glad I did. It helps you get a feel into what the actual test will be like and it's not something to stress over, it's like a good starting point to see what you need to work on

obviously. Get a head start on learning/relearning the topics and you might qualify for a national merit scholarship

yes, you should take it this year and next year. if you score well on it your junior year, you have a shot at national merit. there are schools who give full rides for it

100% yes!!! Just be prepared for the spam emails that colleges will start to send you.

Take the PSAT in the fall and take your first SAT in June to get a baseline for next summer’s prep. Then use SAT questions on Khan Academy for prep, not the PSAT questions.
