The Fall 2021 PSAT is scheduled for Tuesday, October 26th.

Tenth Grade Students (2nd year in high school and having at least 5 credits) will take the test free of charge and registration is NOT required. The PSAT is an optional test for 9th and 11th grade students.


Why should a 9th grade student take the PSAT? Taking the PSAT in 9th grade will help you identify your current scoring level and figure out how you can improve for the future.


Why should an 11th grade student take the PSAT? Students should be sure to take the PSAT/NMSQT in 11th grade if they are interested in qualifying for the National Merit Scholarship or any other scholarships offered through the test.

Want to learn more about the PSAT? Please review this PSAT Presentation and PSAT Letter.
