The PSAT is a standard test administered by the College Board and cosponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in the United States. 11th graders and some 10th graders take in October. Like the SAT, it measures the knowledge and skills in reading, writing, and math students learn in the classroom—the same knowledge and skills you need to succeed in college and career.
The PSAT won’t count towards your college admissions applications, but it is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship . Use the PSAT as practice for the SAT and ACT and an important guidepost on your college admissions journey.
It’s the perfect test to figure out your best strategies for test prep, especially if you’re a sophomore taking it for the first time. The PSAT has three categories worth 80 points each: reading, writing and math. A perfect score would be 240 Point. ” Teachers can open the door, but you must enter it yourself” Brian Moore 10th grade said.” don’t watch the clock do what it does: keep going.” Marcos Reyna 10th grade said.
