SAT, PSAT and Digital SAT
The SAT is used by colleges and universities as part of their admission requirements. It is also used to determine NCAA and scholarship eligibility. The test is designed to measure language skills (Reading and Writing) and Math reasoning skills. The PSAT provides firsthand practice for the SAT.
Effective March 2024, the SAT has transitioned to digital testing fully. Under very rare circumstances, can a student be approved for paper based testing.

The SAT is administered multiple times during the year – August, October, November, December, March, May and June. The majority of students will take the SAT during their junior year at least twice, reserving a third administration for early in their senior year. SAT test dates can be found below.
We advise students to register for the SAT at least 5 weeks in advance. Students may register for the SAT by visiting College Board.
Each test date has its own registration deadline and choice of venues for the test. Once registered for the test, the students have the option to change the test date. Collegeboard will charge a fee to change the test date.

PSAT Test Information
-
PSAT scores have no effect on a student’s candidacy for admission. In fact, colleges don’t even get to see the scores. However, if PSAT scores are competitive, then a student is entitled to national merit scholarships. Scores from the Junior year test are considered for the NMSQT contest.
-
The PSAT is a good introduction to exposing students to longer, more demanding tests like the SAT or ACT. Many students have test-taking anxiety. Hence, their results on standardized tests may not be in line with their in-class academic capabilities.
The PSAT provides firsthand practice for the SAT. Therefore, scores from this test are a powerful indicator of how students will perform on the actual SAT. It also highlights a student’s strengths and weaknesses in core topic areas, which in turn can form the basis for future test preparation.
We HIGHLY recommend all our 10th graders and 11th graders who are targeting NMQST to take this test. Every year many of our students qualify for this highly competitive scholarship program.
-
This is one time when we do not recommend rigorous preparation; a small warm-up is usually enough. However, for HS juniors who are interested in the National Merit Scholarship, a more thorough and dedicated effort is needed for preparing for this test and getting the qualifying scores. Contact us to discuss your PSAT/NMSQT preparation game plan.
-
While most schools invite their 10th and 11th graders to take the PSAT test, but only scores from 11th grade PSAT test qualify for the NMSQT competition. Click here to view the road to becoming a National Merit Scholar.
