PSAT
The PSAT is both a practice test for the SAT and also a qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship Program. The PSAT is offered one time each year in October.
All juniors are strongly advised to to take the PSAT and are given priority in registration. Sophomores should not take the exam unless they have completed geometry. All sophomores who sign up for the test will be wait-listed until all juniors who wish to take the PSAT are registered.
