PSAT/NMSQT Preparation
All Juniors will take
the Preliminary SAT in October. This test is also the National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test. This is a standardized test that provides practice
for the SAT Reasoning test that students may choose to take as a college
entrance exam. Like the SAT, the PSAT measures critical reading skills, math
problem-solving skills and writing skills. The PSAT does not require students
to recall specific facts from their classes. There are ways; however, that
students can prepare. For more information on the PSAT/NMSQT, visit http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/psat/prep.html
