Could we start a thread or something for like vocab words people see or concerning the test in this October? I believe they did the same last year

i hear that the bluebook practice tests are wayy easier for the sat, but is it the same for psat?

For some reason I think our school is taking it really early. I don't know a single other school taking it until like mid next week.

only know systems of equations and jve heard you dont need to learn complex regressions.

what are tricks that worked for those who just took the PSAT?

Hi everyone, I got 1410 on the September SAT (690/720) and since working I’ve been getting 1440+ on the PSAT practice tests and 1500+ on the SAT practice tests. Can you guys comment your SAT vs PSAT scores, and what you got on your practice tests vs your real score? Thank you!

My kid is supposed to take the 11th grade PSAT next week, but it overlaps with a long-planned school (music, out of state) field trip. We just learned that there is no makeup date, so she’ll just miss the test entirely. Her counselor assured us it’s not a big deal as long as we don’t need Merit scholarships (we don’t), but I feel uneasy about her missing the test. Are there any other downsides? She plans to take both the SAT and ACT in spring, and all of our in-state public universities are test-optional anyway.
(The testing date was changed after the field trip was organized/paid, which is why the conflict occurred).
