there is for the PSAT? Is there a separate code for each state, or an overall homeschool code? Are there any trick questions we should look out for? For example, on the PSAT last fall, there were 4 questions on the right-hand side of the answer sheet. One of them was, "Are you a full-time high school student?" The guidance counselor at our local h.s. had my daughter answer "No" because she was homeschooled and didn't attend the h.s. That's a mistake! I called the guidance counselor and told her it wasn't true---she was a full-time h.s. student, and that if she answered "No" for her junior year and possibly did well enough on the PSAT to qualify for a National Merit Scholarship, she would be disqualified on the basis of that alone.

So---are there any "trick" questions or pitfalls we should watch out for? Homeschool code? Any other questions I should make sure dd knows the answer to? Social Security number? Etc. etc.???

Thanks for any and all help!
