Question from a parent at my "Paying for College" seminar over the weekend:
"If we can't start filling out the FAFSA until January 1, 2013, is there somewhere we can go before then to get a sense of what the questions will be like?"
Yes. Buy the book Paying for College without Going Broke. It has the unofficial 2013-14 FAFSA form along with line-by-line instructions to help you fill it out. It's also got the same level of detailed instructions for the CSS Profile form.

Thank you for the book suggestion. Ordered it today!
