Parents: Understand the PSAT Test and SAT Test Cycle

Parents usually ask: When should my child take the PSAT? Should they study for the PSAT? When should they take the SAT? How many times should they take the SAT? The answers to those questions in general is what I call the SAT Cycle.

joshychaos,

Don't panic. You'll be fine. Just take a few practice tests before the SAT. If you want, you can sign up for a free ePrep trial. This will help you get started. Good luck.

You can absolutely take it once a year. In fact, you can take it multiple times in the same year.

The sophomore year PSAT does not count for anything. It is truly a practice test.

It is not considered for National Merit Scholarships or by colleges for admissions.
