About PSAT/NMSQT

The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a program cosponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). It's a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT®. It also gives you a chance to enter NMSC scholarship programs and gain access to college and career planning tools.  This test also has the capability of giving you feedback on your readiness to take AP (Advanced Placement) classes while in high school.
The PSAT/NMSQT measures:
  • Critical reading skills
  • Math problem-solving skills
  • Writing skills
Sophomores are allowed to test, however only Juniors can be entered in the Nation Merit Scholarship portion.
