The PSAT/NMSQT Test
for Junior Students
The Preliminary SAT®/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test is a co-
sponsored program by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship
Corporation (NMSC). It's a standardized test that provides firsthand
practice for the SAT Reasoning Test™. It also gives you a chance to enter
National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) scholarship programs.
The PSAT test measures:
>critical reading skills
>math problem-solving skills
>writing skills
This test doesn't require you to recall specific facts from your classes.
The most common reasons for taking the PSAT/NMSQT are:
>to receive feedback on your strengths and weaknesses on skills necessary
for college study. You can then focus your preparation on those areas that
could most benefit from additional study or practice.
>to see how your performance on an admissions test might compare with that
of others applying to college.
>to enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit
Scholarship Corporation (grade 11).
>to help prepare for the SAT. You can become familiar with the kinds of
questions and the exact directions you will see on the SAT.
>to receive information from colleges when you check "yes" to Student Search
Service.
