PSATs

The Preliminary SAT, also known as the PSAT/NMSQT® (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test), is a practice version of the SAT exam. The PSAT is 2 hours and 45 minutes long and tests your skills in reading, writing and math. You can only take the PSAT once per school year. During your junior year, you could qualify to receive a National Merit Scholarship based on your score.
 
All freshmen, sophomores and juniors will take the PSATs in the fall of each year. The freshmen will take the PSAT 8/9 and the sophomores and juniors will take the PSAT/NMSQT. Click on the following link for more information regarding the PSATs.

College Board has partnered with Khan Academy so that all students who want to go to college can prepare for the SAT at their own pace, at no cost.
