The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®) is structured similarly to the SAT®, has the same sections and timing, and measures the same Reading and Writing and Math skills students learn in the classroom—the knowledge and skills your child needs to succeed in college and career. The PSAT is now digital! The test is easier to take, shorter, has more time per question, and comes with a built in calculator. It an also qualify you for the National Merit Scholarship Program and other scholarships. The test will be taken on an app called Bluebook (which is already downloaded onto the student's chromebooks).
