@Ithilion: Well, taking the PSAT in freshman and sophomore year is certainly good practice for when it actually counts in junior year (and for the SAT, of course).

Yeah, SAT/PSAT math can be tricky. But I'm glad that the test went pretty well overall for both of you!

I hadn't realized that they had changed the format of the PSAT from when I took it. Multiple-choice questions used to have 5 possible choices (I was a bit confused at first that Grievous' sample question had only 4 choices), but apparently no longer. And we lost a quarter point for wrong multiple-choice answers, but I see that now there is no penalty for that. We didn't have a no-calculator section, though.

I'm actually trained to mentor high school students with preparing for the SAT, so if anybody wants a few pointers when they're getting ready to take that, feel free to let me know and I'd be happy to help!
