PSAT/PreACT
PSAT/NMSQT FAQs
WHAT: The PSAT/NMSQT is a great practice test before you take the SAT and is offered at a cheaper price. The only way to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship is to take this test as a Junior. Side note: In order to take the SAT you will need to register on your own through CollegeBoard.com. The school will not register students for the SAT.
WHO: All current 10th and 11th graders should register to take the PSAT for practice before the SAT and/or to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship.
WHEN: The PSAT/NMSQT is offered through CollegeBoard on a national test date that they set. It is generally on a Wednesday in mid-October during the school day.
HOW: TCR will advertise when the sign up window is for this test in the weeks prior to the administration.
