The PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) is a program co-sponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation. For many students, the PSAT/NMSQT is the first official step on the road to college. It assesses skills developed through years of study in a wide range of courses as well as through experiences outside the classroom.

The PSAT/NMSQT also provides all test-takers with access to MyRoad, the College Board's online majors, college, and career exploration program to allow them to begin college and career planning.

Students take the PSAT/NMSQT to:

  • Help assess academic skills necessary for college-level work
  • Prepare for the SAT
  • Enter Competitions for National Scholarships
    For more information, go to Scholarship and Recognition Programs.
  • Receive information from colleges
    For more information, go to Student Search Service.
  • Begin college and career planning
