    Are these dates for current 10th or 11th graders?

    These are the current dates, but they do change every year. The registration links remain the same, though.

    Oops, Lee – Denise was really asking, “In which years do we have to do each of these things?” F’rinstance, everyone has to update their transcripts in April. But Freshmen don’t need to worry about the PSAT in September. I’m wondering the same things, so please, pretty please, enlighten us.

    Very good question, Denise and Jo! You are correct, Freshmen typically think about registering for the PSAT in late summer/early fall. Here’s an article that I think will answer your question:

    Take the PSAT for Fun and Profit

    That article includes info and links you can use to find out when and where the PSAT is given in your area, and how to prepare. I hope that helps!
