Preliminary SAT/
National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test
10th grade students have the opportunity to take the PSAT/NMSQT test in October. As mandated in Section 59-18-340 of the Education Accountability Act, the test is administered to assess and identify curricular areas that need to be strengthened and reinforced. According to the law, schools shall use the assessment as a diagnostic tool to provide academic assistance to students whose scores reflect the need for such assistance. Schools will use the results of the assessment to provide guidance and direction for parents and students as they plan for postsecondary experiences. While students are not required to participate, schools are required to offer this testing opportunity to all enrolled 2nd year students (in-person and GCS Virtual Program).
