What is the PSAT and who typically takes it

Answer 1

the PSAT is a test highschool students take before college. The PSAT is generally taken by freshman, sophmores, and juniors. Seniors take the SAT.

Answer 2

Almost all students take the PSAT during their junior year, but many students take the PSAT when they are sophomores to get the feel of the test. However, it is only the scores from the PSAT taken in your junior year that are considered for the National Merit Scholarship competition.
