<p>Yea, I understood what you meant. I am doing some competitions now and will do some next year as stated, so hopefully I do well. </p>
<p>As far as the PSAT goes I took it once in the beginning of my sophomore year with some score around a 200 (nothing merit worthy not that it would matter as a sophomore). At the beginning of my junior year I was completely focused on the ACT and avoided both the PSAT and SAT after I received my ACT results. It might have been a mistake but I decided to better use my time than to continue focusing on standardized tests. </p>
