			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Next week my oldest daughter takes the <a title="College Board" href="http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/psat/about.html" target="_blank">PSAT</a>/NMSQT which is a practice test, except they use the score to place kids on the list for the <a title="National Merit Scholarship" href="http://www.nationalmerit.org/" target="_blank">National Merit Scholarship Award</a>.  This award is worth about $1,000 for one year. I found this and other things out about the getting into college process last night at her school.  The college guidance counselors had a meeting for parents to fill them in on the process and answer questions.</p>
<p>My kid goes to a college prep school, <a title="Greenhills School" href="http://www.greenhillsschool.org/" target="_blank">Greenhills School in Ann Arbor, MI</a>, and they have a great &#8220;get into college&#8221; support team for the kids. I&#8217;ll share what I learn with you along the way in case your out of the loop on that process. Or in case you kid doesn&#8217;t tell you.</p>
<p>One peice of advice for the SAT and ACT test reporting is not to send them out automatically when the test results are processed.  Yes. You can save a few dollars and perhaps some time this way but if your kid wants to retake a test or perhaps doesn&#8217;t want to send a particular test score to a certain college then you are safe.  You can make the decision after you find out the scores.</p>
<p>Taking the practice tests will not improve your intelligence but it will help to figure out how much time to spend on each section; figure out how to skip a question and go back later without messing up the order of the answers, and see where you need to improve the test taking process in general.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll share more as I find out. Hope this helps.</p>
