The PSAT only happens in October, too, so we're considering having him take an SAT this spring/summer.<br /><br />And take the next available PSAT.<br /><br />Who knows, we may wait for sometime after the PSAT though. <br /><br />In your case, I'd definitely plan to do the PSAT next October. It "counts" (for National Merit Scholarship) only in the junior/11th grade year... so taking it as a 10th grader is a bit of a practice run for that...Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416139988162419457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-88497646543783596272011-11-18T20:16:36.395-07:002011-11-18T20:16:36.395-07:00Matt is also 14.5 and in 9th grade.

We're talking about him taking it in the spring. I'm not sure though. It will partially depend on dates... he's looking at taking an AP exam in May. It seems like there are SAT dates in June, so maybe he'll do that...<br /><br />I want him to take it this schoolyear though. He does need the practice.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416139988162419457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-73276740551101322722011-11-15T16:52:16.149-07:002011-11-15T16:52:16.149-07:00Thanks for the review.

We have been struggling with figuring out the best time to let him take the SAT's. He's anxious to take them and see how he does as his younger cousin had to take them to get into a special gifted class.
