My son, 2018 grad, is taking the PSAT in October 2016. His entire class took the PSAT 10 in October 2015, where he scored just under 1200. There was no prep or discussion. They just walked in and took it.

I'm taking the PSAT in October. When would be the best time for me to take the SAT for the first time? I think I want to take it twice, but that depends on how well I do the first time. --- ## [Do I have enough time to study?](https://experthub.prepscholar.com/t/do-i-have-enough-time-to-study/7505)

I took the new PSAT this fall as a sophomore, and I got a 1200. I'm a little disappointed because I'm hoping for a 1450 or higher on the new version of the SAT, and I'm worried it's going to be tough to improve that much… --- ## [AP classes?](https://experthub.prepscholar.com/t/ap-classes/7982)

Hi! I have a tough question! I am a junior. I just took the PSAT and made a 1480 (221 in National Merit), so I will qualify to be a NM semifinalist.
