Why PSAT?? There are great reasons!
Connections to Scholarships Students who take the PSAT/NMSQT in 11th grade may meet requirements to enter the National Merit® Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships. Our other scholarship partners also use the PSAT/NMSQT to find students qualified to apply for their programs. These organizations give out over $300 million in combined awards every year. Additionally, the College Board Opportunity Scholarships program provides a simple path to college with the chance for students to earn scholarships for each step they take. Half of the scholarships—more than $2 million each year—are set aside for students whose families earn less than $60,000 per year.
Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy® is FREE for all students and the best way to prepare for the SAT. When they link their College Board and Khan Academy accounts, students get a personalized study plan based on their results on tests like the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, or PSAT™ 10, so they can focus on the skills they need to work on most. Students also get access to: § Thousands of practice questions with instant feedback § Video lessons that explain questions step by step § Full-length practice tests §
