Register | Year 10 PSAT/NMSQT exam
Register | Year 10 PSAT/NMSQT exam
The PSAT/NMSQT exam will be digitally administered on Thursday, Oct. 23 at 4 p.m. for students who wish to write it (not mandatory).
Why would I take the PSAT exam?
The PSAT is a great way for students to get an idea of what it's like to write timed, standardized tests such as the SAT/ACT. It's a diagnostic test and is not used for admissions purposes, but to help you understand the style of questions that are used on standardized tests. Additionally, for some students who are being recruited as an athlete, this can give coaches an early “preview” of a possible test score during the recruiting process. American citizens can use their PSAT results as the qualifying exam used by the National Merit Scholarship Program.
Registration:
Space is limited. Students who wish to write this exam, are required to register here by Friday, Oct. 10. Please note that students must register using their UCC email.
Accommodations:
Any students taking the PSAT who require accommodations must receive approval from College Board's Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD). Families should check with the school’s SSD coordinator and our CFL to make sure accommodations are in place well in advance of the test date (4 weeks).
Under standard conditions, the test takes 2 hours and 14 minutes with one break.
Year 12 | Oxford: Admissions Test Booking
Year 12 | Oxford: Admissions Test Booking
All registered candidates with no access arrangements or approved standard access arrangements (including time-based arrangements, glucose monitor, a beverage or an access locker), will be able to book their test(s) via a link from their Oxford Admissions Registration Tests portal dashboard to the Pearson VUE test website any time from August 18 (1 p.m. BST) to Sept. 26 (6 p.m. BST).
Bookings are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner candidates register and book their test(s), the more likely they are to find a convenient test centre and appointment.
All further details and guidance are available via the Oxford admissions test webpages on their undergraduate admissions website.
Depending on whether a candidate will be requesting access arrangements, they should start by reading our guidance:
We also strongly recommend that students watch the corresponding 'Registering for and booking your admissions test' video.
