Algebra I (TT) in 9th
Geometry (Jacobs at co-op) 10th
Algebra II (Saxon at co-op) 11th
I have some fears of him moving into Saxon Alg II from TT Alg I
but I also read on another post about finishing a certain amount of Saxon Alg II before doing well on the PSAT.
Thoughts?

Forgot that after I read that then I read this by Mrs. Mungo
"Therefore, the PSAT contains Geometry questions but not Algebra II questions since it is taken in the 11th grade for the purposes of the National Merit Scholar program. "

It's my understanding that Saxon integrates math (algebra and geometry) and that might complicate switching into it. You might want to check on that. You are correct; the PSAT contains basic algebra and geometry. Many of the questions are more about reasoning than about even algebra or geometry. So using a math program that was good conceptually would be a good idea. Review using Chalkdust SAT math review would be helpful before the test.
