PSAT, Wednesday, October 12th, 2022
What is the PSAT and why is it important?
The PSAT won’t count towards your college admissions applications, but when taken in 11th grade, it is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship. Some of the highest scoring students may win scholarship money, so while you shouldn’t stress out about the PSAT, you certainly shouldn’t ignore it either. Use the PSAT as practice as a 9th and 10th grader for the SAT and ACT. It can be an important guidepost on your college admissions journey.
- The PSAT 8/9 given to 9th graders at Saints, tests the same skills and knowledge as the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT.
- It measures what students are already learning, and provides detailed feedback that lets them know where they need the most improvement.
