<p>This is my first post here, so I apologize if I screw it up somehow. :) </p>
<p>I get to take the PSATs tomorrow at my high school ... joy. I just love three hour tests. I'm not concerned though, I've scored very well on the practice tests I've taken. </p>
<p>I was wondering, as a sophomore do the PSATs serve any purpose except for practicing? I understand that as a junior you are registered for the national merit scholarship and other scholarships, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference as a sophomore. </p>
<p>Also, how much junk mail do colleges typically send you? I'm open to receiving brochures and information (I'm just starting my search and want all the information I can get!) and I was wondering how much, if any, people get. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
