Why is PSAT/NMSQT critical for you?
1. Feedback to prepare for the SAT:
The PSAT is a terrific way to familiarize yourself with the structure, content and process of taking the SAT and get a sense of how you'll perform on the actual exam. Your score can show you which subjects you may not be particularly strong in, regardless of your grades in related classes.
​
2. Scores can lead to National Merit Scholarships: Recognition by the National Merit program provides a monetary award and can often be leveraged to secure additional scholarships. Recipients and finalists can become eligible for corporate scholarships and institutional grants. In some cases, these grants cover full tuition.
​
3. Passport to the college of your choice: The PSAT is a tool many colleges and universities use to identify students they think may make a good addition to their student body and who may be deserving of scholarships. Admission into premier colleges is expensive and the competition is fierce. By achieving a high score on the PSAT, students can take a lot of stress out of the college admissions and financial aid process.
