Is your child ready for college? Every year, about 4 million 10th- and 11th-grade students take the PSAT/NMSQT®, which determines qualification for the National Merit® Scholarship Program and is good practice for the SAT. Students taking the PSAT/NMSQT have access to more than $230 million annually through the College Board’s scholarship partners.
The PSAT/NMSQT also plays a key role in college readiness. In early December, when students get their PSAT/NMSQT score reports, they can find out which skills to focus on to prepare for the SAT®.
