PSAT/NMSQT- October 18th, 2023

The PSAT/NMSQT is a great way to preview and practice for the SAT. It will test the same skills and knowledge as the SAT. When you receive your test results, connect your College Board and Khan Academy® accounts to obtain free personalized SAT study recommendations.

In addition, when you take the PSAT/NMSQT, you’re automatically screened for the National Merit® Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships.
For more information, visit https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt/whats-on-the-test.

The PSAT/NMSQT is now digital. The PSAT/NMSQT takes 2 hours and 14 minutes and consists of 2 sections: (1) the Reading and Writing Section, and (2) the Math Section. Most of the questions are multiple choice, though some math questions ask you to write in the answer rather than select it.

There are 25 spots available. You can sign up with Mrs. Harbourn in the guidance office. The test will cost $12.00. Checks can be made out to MCHS. Payment must be received before test day. We will test on Wednesday October 18th, 2023 at 8:00 am.
