Barnesville High School offers Junior students an opportunity to take a couple optional assessments this school year.
Below is the letter sent to families:
The PSAT/NMSQT includes three multiple-choice tests: Reading, Writing and Language, and Mathematics. Taking the PSAT in a room, with other students, under strict time limits with a proctor present is the closest simulation you’ll get to taking the ACT. When you take the PSAT, you may earn a qualifying score to enter the National Merit Scholarship Program and compete for national recognition and college scholarships. To be considered for a National Merit Scholarship, you must also satisfy high academic standards and other requirements. This “dry run” may help you feel less nervous when you take the ACT. Students will use their iPads for taking this assessment.

Here are some reasons for schools to give their students the PSAT/NMSQT:
The test offers students opportunities to earn scholarships and academic recognition.
Students can use their PSAT/NMSQT scores to get free personalized practice for the SAT.
PSAT/NMSQT scores give students and their teachers information on what AP courses they will likely do well in.
Their scores also give students information on what areas they’re strong in and what they need to work on.
