<p>im gonna take the 10th grade psat and i have never taken the psat, act, or sat before. I want to just take it without any prep at all to see where i stand, like my base score. Is this a good idea or should i be studying for it? I am concerned with this because i have my eye on a few prestigious summer programs and they might use my psat as a factor for admissions. thanks a lot! ;]</p>
<p>If you want to use your PSAT score as part of your application for a summer program, I would suggest you study; you’d hate to be rejected because of a low score on a test you could have studied for.</p>
