PSAT Tips And Strategies: How To Study For The NMSQT Exam And Get A Good Score
Juniors across the United States will take the preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, or PSAT/NMSQT, on Wednesday. High schools offer the exam, which includes math, reading and writing, to students every fall. Wednesday is this year's alternate test date.
The PSAT, as it's abbreviated, is important because it gives students an idea of what taking the actual SAT and ACT will be like. It also serves as the qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship, a competitive program that pays for its winners to go to college.
