Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Let me put it this way. Unless you're vying for an ivy league school with plans to become a lawyer or something equally difficult, the PSAT is useless. I didn't study for my SAT. I didn't take the PSAT. I did no preparation for it whatsoever. I got a 1300, back when 1600 was the max. That's a decent score, more than enough to get me into the college I desired. Am I good test taker in general? Yes, but had I stayed up every night studying the dictionary I don't think I would have done much better on the verbal. People put so much emphasis on this test, but unless you're shooting for the top, it's not that big of a deal.
Now, if you ARE having hopes of Harvard, then yes, go for the PSAT. Otherwise, fuck that and go get your belt. That's what you apparently prefer, so go with your gut.

If i were you, I would take the PSAT test. It is very important to practice for the SAT's. This test will help get you prepared for the SAT exam. It will let you know what subjects you need to improve on and by how much, by giving you scores to work with as you begin getting ready for the SAT's. Remember for later, colleges look at your SAT scores when determining whether or not to admit you to their school. Explain its importance to your karate instructor and let him know that though both are important to you, you feel your education should come first. Ask if it would be possible for you to take your test on a later date, such as the date other students will be re-testing or another available time. If your instructor does not wish to compromise, look at it this way: there will be another chance to test for your next level in karate, but only one PSAT.
