Why Offer the PSAT/NMSQT?
Help your students get more from their score. The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is more than good practice for the SAT and their scores are more than just a number.
Get Actionable Data
Using the online reporting portal, you’ll be able to:
- Evaluate each student’s college and career readiness.
- Determine which knowledge areas and skills need more work.
- See how much progress they’ve made from PSAT 8/9 and PSAT 10.
- Leverage this data for instructional planning.
Connect Students to Scholarships and Recognition Programs
Broaden Access to AP
The AP Potential™ tool is designed to help you expand access to your AP programs by identifying students who are ready for AP based on their performance on the PSAT/NMSQT and other tests in the SAT Suite.
New Digital Format
This fall, the PSAT/NMSQT will be delivered in a new digital format that is more relevant for students than ever before. The change is good news for educators, too. A shorter test means a shorter test day, and no more packing, sorting, or shipping test materials. Going digital also means more flexibility for where and when the test can be administered.
