PSAT: A QUICK RECAP

  • Who takes the PSAT?
    • 10th and 11th graders
  • When is the PSAT offered?
    • Once a year, in October (this year, on a Wednesday)
  • If I took the PSATs in 10th grade, should I take them again in 11th grade?
    • Yes! (extra practice, NMSQT)
    • Likely that PSATs will be offered during the school day again next year, so all students will take it.
  • Do my PSAT scores get sent to colleges when I apply?
    • No, they are just for you – it’s a practice test
