PSAT / NMSQT
PSAT/NMSQT
The Preliminary SAT (PSAT), also known as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT), is standardized test structured similarly to the SAT. The exam can be used to help students measure their academic progress, practice for the SAT, and earn eligibility for scholarships. The highest performers on the exam can qualify for the National Merit Scholarship.
PSAT/NMSQT Registration
Registration for the October 2023 PSAT is now open through September 8, 2023. The PSAT will be completely digital. While the PSAT is predominantly an 11th grade exam, we do allow our 10th graders to take it as well. The cost of the exam is $20. 11th Graders who qualify for the Federal Free/Reduced Lunch Program pay $0 for the exam, but this is only for 11th graders and does not include 10th graders.
Week of October 16th: Juniors will take the exam (exact date will be announced at a later time)
Week of October 23rd: Sophomores will take the exam (again, exact date will be announced at a later time)
To register and pay for the exam, please go to Total Registration.
