What is the PSAT?
The Preliminary SAT (PSAT) is a standardized practice test designed to give high school students a realistic preview of the SAT. It measures the Reading, Writing, and Math skills you're learning in school.
Why should Sophomores & Juniors register?
National Merit Scholarships (Juniors): Taking the test as a junior is the only way to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program, which can unlock thousands of dollars in college scholarships.
Low-Stakes Practice: Get a feel for the test structure, timing, and question styles before taking the actual SAT—without sending scores to colleges.
Customized Study Tools: Link your scores to Khan Academy for a free, personalized study plan tailored to the exact areas you need to improve.
Great Baseline for Sophomores: Starting early gives 10th graders a risk-free snapshot of their strengths and room to grow before junior year.
📅 How to Register: See Ms. Jones in Room 117 by the end of the day tomorrow, Wednesday, October 7th.
