PSAT/NMSQT Information

PSAT/NMSQT

The PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) will be administered to all 11th grade students on Wednesday, October 18, 2023. 

The PSAT/NMSQT evaluates the skills each student has developed in Reading, Writing & Language, and Math; it also provides tools for a student to achieve his or her college and career goals. Because the PSAT/NMSQT evaluates the same skills as the SAT, taking this assessment is an effective way for a student to start preparing for the SAT. Additionally, students who take the PSAT/NMSQT qualify for a chance to win scholarships and recognition from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and other scholarship partners. Learn more about the scholarships at Scholarship Partners & Programs

All 11th grade students will participate in the assessment at no cost to the student.  Homeschool students who wish to participate should e-mail Dr. Rachel Lomax at lomaxr@kisdtx.net to register and coordinate payment for exam fees. 

Results from the PSAT/NMSQT are available online in December.
