PSAT Testing – October 9th
Students in 9th, 10th, and 11th grades will take the PSAT on October 9th as part of our regular testing schedule. This will be the only opportunity to take the test, and there will be no makeup sessions. Please ensure your student attends on October 9th.
The PSAT is the nationally recognized test that MSM administers to meet the requirement to receive EFA funds under the LEARNS Act.
Most students should finish between 11:30 and noon. Extended time testers will be later (1:30). Find out more info about PSAT below:
PSAT 8/9 (9th Graders Only)
PSAT/NMSQT (10th & 11th Graders)
Las estudiantes de 9º, 10º y 11º grado tomarán el PSAT el 9 de octubre como parte de nuestro calendario regular de exámenes. Esta será la única oportunidad para presentar el examen, y no habrá sesiones de recuperación. Por favor, asegúrese de que su estudiante asista el 9 de octubre.
El PSAT es el examen reconocido a nivel nacional que MSM administra para cumplir con el requisito de recibir fondos EFA bajo la Ley LEARNS.
