<p>For any sophomores/juniors or parents out there, if you miss the testing day for illness, there are ways to still participate in the contest if you act promptly. I don't remember the details, but that is also on the NMSF website. You can't miss for an activity or just "blow it off", but there is a way to make for illness.
DD took the PSAT sick because we thought there was no recourse, otherwise she ouwld have been home in bed that day, we didn't find CC until much later.</p>
