PSAT/NMSQT

The PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) is an standardized exam taken by high school students to practice for the SAT and to qualify for National Merit Scholarship programs. It assesses skills in reading, math, and writing, helping students gauge their college readiness. The test also provides personalized feedback on strengths and areas for improvement. Many colleges consider PSAT scores for scholarship opportunities, and high scores can open doors to additional academic honors. It’s typically offered annually in the fall, serving as both a practice test and a pathway to recognition and scholarships.
