PSAT Information: MUST Act Quickly!
We have recently received permission from the district to administer the PSAT/NMSQT on October 29, 2020 in-person at Louisville Male High School. If your student is a 10th or 11th grader and has interest in taking this test, please fill out the following form as soon as possible. Due to COVID-19 guidelines, we will be limited in how many students may test. Please know that priority will be given to our 11th grade students. From there, we will accommodate as many 10th graders as possible.
All CDC Health Guidelines will be strictly followed/enforced.
Once reservations have been received/processed, students and families will be contacted with further instructions regarding test day and submitting payment.
FAQ's regarding the PSAT/NMSQT:
Q: Who takes (should take) the PSAT / NMSQT?
A: Typically, all 11th grade students have taken the exam in the fall. However, with COVID, we are offering it to all 11th graders as an option this year. We will also allow 10th graders to test if space allows. Please understand that priority is given to 11th graders.
Q: Why should students take the test?
A: Typically, students who plan to apply for the Governor's Scholars Program or Governor’s School for the Arts use the test results as part of their application. Also, if a student wishes to be in the pool for the National Merit Scholarship, this is the test to take. Click here for more information regarding National Merit Scholarship.
Q: Does the test cost anything?
A: Yes. The test has $17 / student fee, but it is not due prior to or at the time of the test. There will be several weeks between the reservation and payment being due. Once a student has completed the PSAT reservation form, they will be notified about how to submit payment.
Q: What should I do if my student has an IEP or 504 plan?
A: Applications for accommodations will be submitted for students with an active IEP or 504 plan. If a student who qualifies is not approved for the October test, families will be contacted regarding possible options. If your student has an IEP or 504 and is considering taking the PSAT, please reserve your test spot as soon as possible.
If you want to sign up for the test to be administered on October 29, please complete THIS FORM by 11:59 pm on September 14, 2020.
Please direct any questions or concerns to Male’s Building Assessment Coordinator, Ms. Leah Walz, at leah.walz@jefferson.kyschools.us.
