Has my councelor lost her mind?

<p>Here are links for your school's counselor: </p>

<p>But she should be able to find everything she needs to know about this issue on page 5 of the PSAT/NMSQT Official Student Guide: National Merit Program, which is just in the reverse pages (the pages that read forward from the purple cover) in this year's PSAT preparation booket. Read your fine manual is the politest thing I would be able to say to a counselor like that. DEFINITELY tell the principal and the school board about problems like that.</p>

<p>We're homeschoolers, so I needed to call local high schools to see if I could sign my kids up for the PSAT. I just registered my student today. The school would not let outsiders register until their school sign-up had ended (yesterday), at which point, if they still had spots, they'd sell them on a first-come basis. So...if you know of any juniors who thought they'd be in the running for NMSF based on their scores from last year, you might tell them to start calling schools in the area that are testing on Saturday to see if any spots are still available.</p>

<p>I will talk to her about it and also get it to the principal and school board that she did that.</p>
