PSAT/NMSQT

The PSAT is designed to help students prepare for the SAT. Students can become familiar with the types of questions and the directions they will see on the SAT. The three parts of the PSAT are critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills.

 The PSAT assesses skills developed through years of study in a wide range of courses as well as through experiences outside the classroom. It is many students’ first official step on the path to college.

The PSAT lets individual students compare their ability to do college work with the ability of other college-bound students.  After the test, students receive a Report of Student Answers and a test book to review their performance.

Taken in the junior year, the PSAT/NMSQT serves as an initial screening of more than one million participants in the National Merit Scholarship Program, which identifies and honors academically talented students and provides college undergraduate scholarships for a sizable number of the participants.
