PSAT/NMQST Test at PHS 10/14/15
Over 3.6 million students take the PSAT/NMSQT each year. It is essentially an SAT practice test for students that can give feedback on current test skills. There is also a scholarship competition component to this test. It is most commonly taken by 11th grade students as only they can qualify for scholarships and recognition. Younger students can take it to gain feedback on their current college-readiness skills.
