What Is the PSAT?

The PSAT or Preliminary SAT. 

​

In other words, it is a practice tool to prepare you for the actual SAT assessment.  

Don’t just take the PSAT.  See where it takes you.  The PSAT is much more than a practice test for the SAT.  The highest performers on the PSAT/NMQST are eligible to earn scholarship money toward their chosen colleges.

 

Do you want to be a scholarship recipient?  I think our school district needs some National Merit Scholars.  Let's goooooo!!!!!

​

​

In addition, once you receive your scores from your actual PSAT assessment you will be given an access code.  This is located on the front page of your score report.  You can use your access code to connect with Khan Academy and receive free online SAT practice that will be adjusted to your weaknesses and strengths.  

​

​

AND...

No Penalty for Guessing

On the new PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10, you simply earn points for the questions you answer correctly. So go ahead and give your best answer to every question—there’s no advantage to leaving them blank.
