The purpose of this paper is to provide information about how students' scores change when they retake the PSAT/NMSQT as juniors or take the SAT in the spring after they take the PSAT/NMSQT as juniors. Two research questions guided this study and motivated the approach for analysis of the data: How do scores change for students who took the PSAT/NMSQT both as a sophomore and junior or the PSAT/NMSQT and SAT as juniors? How will future students taking the PSAT/NMSQT be expected to perform when they take the SAT or retake the PSAT/NMSQT? Tables and figures are appended.
