PSAT
Vista Oaks will be offering the PSAT (NMSQT) onsite this year. Students must sign up by Friday, August 25. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. Please read the details below.
PSAT (NMSQT) and PSAT 10 - Friday, Oct 20th
The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) and PSAT 10 measure what students learn in school, determine if students are on track for college success, and open doors for opportunities to prepare and pay for college. The PSAT/NMSQT is open to 10th and 11th graders in the fall.
Please contact your advisor to sign up for the PSAT.
*We will not be offering the SAT this year, students will need to sign up for a test online at the College Board.
