<p>As a sophomore in high school, I was wondering if there really would be any benefit in doing good on this test. I don't really feel like studying at all, but was wondering if there was any extremely convincing incentive that could change my mind.</p>
<p>Your score doesn’t count for anything. Although, it is good practice for the future.</p>
<p>My guidance counsellor recommended I study so I knew how much studying equals x score and wouldn’t think I’d do way better by studying. If you think you’ll do really well there is also National Merit to consider. But don’t force yourself if you have other stuff more important to do.</p>
<p>It seemed like guidance counselors at my [medium-large public] high school tended to judge students’ intelligence based on (among other things) sophomore year PSAT scores. It’s good to make a good first impression in this way.</p>
<p>you should, i took it last year and although it doesnt really count for anything your sophmore year, if you want a shot at doing well on it next year and enjoying the benefits of doing well on it then (scholarships, yay!!) you should take it this year to see where you stand. you dont want to be surprised by it when it counts</p>

<p>I would recommend you start studying for it. The earlier you begin the better. To be honest, I regret not having begun studying earlier. However, it is entirely up to you. You should know what type of student you are. There’s one type of student who is always one step ahead, and they do this because he or she knows that he takes more time to absorb the material. On the contrary, I know many who are of the other type: the crammers. They do everything last minute (ie. studying, doing hw) and still have the capability of acing everything. Personally, I am usually the second type; I love putting things off until the last minute so that I won’t have to worry until the last minute, and this in turn has worked out pretty well for me. Basically, know which type you are and do what you think is best.</p>
