CHANGES to the PSAT - Read important info below!!
Deadline for 9th & 11th to register is Thursday, Aug 31st. There are NO exceptions to this deadline as the exam is now computer-based and College Board has a hard deadline for schools to register.
College Board has decided to go digital. In order to test students on computers, we must make some changes from our traditional schedule. Please see below for specifics on 9th, 10th, and 11th grade test dates and specifics.
Nease High School will administer the PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test – National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) to all 10th grade students on Wednesday, October 11, 2023. The purpose of the test is to give all students an opportunity to experience taking a college readiness test and identify students who might benefit from advanced coursework.
There is no need to register 10th grade students, as they will receive their test at no cost through state funding. However, if 10th grade students choose to opt-out please return PSAT-10th-Grade-opt-out-letter to Ms. Messenger in PH 225 or at the front office desk.
Students in 11th grade wishing to take the test MUST register online. Please click here to register and pay: PSAT SchoolPay The last day to pay & register will be Thursday, August 31, 2023. There is NO possibility of testing if payment is not received by this date. Your student’s Score Report for the PSAT/NMSQT® will be available in mid-to-late November from College Board. The PSAT is the ONLY exam that is used for 11th graders to qualify for the National Merit Scholars Program. Additionally, a score of 430 on the PSAT Math qualifies as a concordant score for the Algebra I EOC.
