<p>So the PSAT is coming up... but why do sophomores want to take it? It only counts for Nation Merit Scholar if you take it as a junior right?</p>
<p>It’s good practice since it’s only administered once a year. True, there are practice tests and whatnot, but it’s nice taking it in the same exact conditions one will take it next year, and not have it count.</p>
<p>but the score won’t count for sure right?</p>
<p>there are no records of it afterwards?</p>
<p>Yes, taking it as a sophomore does not count for anything. It is purely practice, and you should absolutely take it.</p>
