My student did not take the October PSAT, is that a problem?
For most students, the PSAT is taken to become comfortable with the SAT, understand a baseline score, and start considering a testing timeline. If your student's school requires registration to take the PSAT and your student missed registering, it is not the end of the world. Students can take a practice SAT using their Khan Academy account anytime. We also offer a free diagnostic SAT with our tutoring partner Arbor Bridge. Winter break is a good time to do this.
