What is the PSAT?
The PSAT is mostly a practice version of the SAT, but it can also lead to more money for college. The test also enables you to enter the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) scholarship program.
The PSAT is usually given once a year in the fall, around October. A student can only take in one time a year. Students usually take the PSAT in both the 10th and 11th grades. Only your junior year scores will count towards the National Merit Scholarship Program.
How do I register for the PSAT?
To register, contact any Catawba County high school counselor at the end of September for available dates and times.
Online registration for the PSAT/NMSQT is not available.
