PSAT/NMSQT® is an important test that provides many benefits that can help students along the path to college.
- If your child is a junior, the PSAT/NMSQT® offers him or her the opportunity to enter competitions for scholarships to help pay for college.
- For sophomores and juniors, the PSAT/NMSQT® is also great practice for the SAT®.
- Students will also get personalized feedback on their performance to help improve their skills before taking the SAT®. Your student’s Score Report for the PSAT/NMSQT® will be available from the College Board in mid-to-late November.
- In addition, students receive free college planning tools to help them start their college search and feedback on the types of AP courses for which they may be particularly well prepared. These college-level classes can help students earn college credit while still in high school and provide them with a competitive advantage in college admissions.
- If your child is interested in hearing from colleges and universities across the country looking for students like him or her, remind your child to opt in to Student Search Service® when he or she takes the test.
- Additionally, a PSAT Math score of 430 is a concordant score for the Algebra 1 EOC graduation requirement.
There is no need to register 10th-grade students; they will receive their test at no cost through state funding. Any parent of a 10th-grade student who does not wish their student to take the PSAT/NMSQT® test on October 23rd must sign and return the PSAT 10 Opt Out Letter (click to download) to the front office desk by Friday, September 13th.
