Sophomores and Juniors will be given an opportunity to take the PSAT Exam on October 26, 2024.
All juniors that test in October will be eligible to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship.
The registration link will be open August 19, 2024-October 14, 2024.
Students should arrive at Boulder Creek High School at 7:00 am on Saturday, October 26th. The cost of the exam is $30.00. The exam will begin promptly at 7:30 am. Where students are testing will be sent to both student and parent emails that they entered when registering.
The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) cosponsors the PSAT/NMSQT, which stands for Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. High school students enter NMSC programs, usually as 11th graders, by taking the PSAT/NMSQT and meeting other published entry requirements. NMSC uses the Selection Index score - the sum of the critical reading, mathematics and writing skills scores - as an initial screen of students who enter its programs and to designate groups of students to be honored.
The PSAT/NMSQT is highly recommended for college-bound sophomores and juniors.
