The school year is flying by and I don't want to miss out. Does anyone know the latest I can register for the PSAT without being late? Also, any tips on not forgetting the date?
Hello there! Typically, PSAT registration dates are set by your high school, not by a national organization like for the SAT. Most schools set their deadlines for the PSAT in the late summer or early fall, as the test is usually offered in October. I recommend checking with your high school's guidance office or website for the exact registration deadline, though – they should have that information readily available.
As for not forgetting the date once you've registered, there are a few strategies you can use. You might put the test date on a physical calendar if you use one, set a reminder on your phone, or you can have an email reminder sent to you through various apps and services. If you're into bullet journaling or planners, sketch out a little countdown to get psyched up for test day – it can also help with managing your study schedule.
And don't hesitate to reach out to your school counselor — they can sometimes send reminders as the test date approaches. Good luck with your preparation!
