PSAT (Preliminary SAT)
The PSAT, or Preliminary SAT, is a standardized test similar to the SAT, taken by high school students to practice for college admissions exams. It assesses skills in reading, math, and writing, and helps students identify areas for improvement. Additionally, the PSAT serves as a qualifier for the National Merit Scholarship Program, which can provide scholarship opportunities. Usually taken in the fall of the 10th or 11th grade, it offers valuable feedback on academic progress and college readiness, helping students prepare for future standardized testing and college applications.
