PSAT/NMSQT Testing
The Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) is encouraging all high school students to take the PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT) exam this fall. This exam is a great way for your student to prepare for the SAT and potentially earn scholarships.
What is the PSAT?
What is the PSAT?
The PSAT provides an up-to-date look at how your student might perform on the official SAT exam. This practice run can help your student pinpoint areas where they might need to spend more time studying for the actual exam. It can also help reduce testing anxiety by making the SAT feel more familiar.
For juniors, the PSAT also serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). High-scoring students can be entered into a national competition for prestigious scholarships.
