PSAT

2020 PSAT is not yet scheduled. PSAT is administered once a year for grades 9 - 11.

The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a program co-sponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). It's a standardized test that provides first hand practice for the SAT®. It also gives you a chance to enter NMSC scholarship programs and gain access to college and career planning tools.

The PSAT/NMSQT measures: Critical reading skills; Math problem-solving skills; Writing skills. This test doesn't require you to recall specific facts from your classes.

The most common reason for taking the PSAT/NMSC are to:

• Receive feedback on your strengths and weaknesses on skills necessary for college study. You can then focus your preparation on those areas that could most benefit from additional study or practice.

• See how your performance on an admissions test might compare with that of others applying to college.

• Enter the competition for scholarships from NMSC (grade 11).

• Help prepare for the SAT. You can become familiar with the kinds of questions and the exact direction you will see on the SAT.

• Receive information from colleges when you check "yes" to Student Search Service.
