On Thursday, October 19th we will administer the PSAT/NMSQT test to all juniors at school at 8:20 a.m. in the morning. PSAT stands for the Preliminary SAT test, and NMSQT is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying test. This exam is co-sponsored by College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation. By taking the PSAT/NMSQT, students may meet requirements to enter the National Merit Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships. Additionally the exam is great preparation for the SAT test which our juniors will take in April. The PSAT/NMSQT is free for your students as the school district is covering testing fees. The exam has four test components: Reading, Writing and Language, and two Math sections. Please make sure your student is well-rested, and on time to school tomorrow. Each junior must bring a calculator with them for testing as there is a limited supply available to loan. Thank you.
