Information & Registration Form
The 2015 PSAT/NMSQT will be offered on Wednesday, October 14, 2015 @
Central Dauphin High School @ 8 AM.
The PSAT/NMSQT is co-sponsored by the College Board and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. The test is administered annually to more than 3 million students. The PSAT assesses the academic skills that students develop over the years, primarily through their academic coursework, measuring critical reading, math reasoning, and writing skills that are critical for success in college.
The PSAT/NMSQT provides the best preparation for the SAT Reasoning Test and is the entry point for junior students to compete for National Merit Scholarships including the National Achievement Program. Additionally, the test provides recognition via the National Hispanic Recognition Program. By taking the PSAT, students will have the option to receive information from colleges and scholarship services through the secure, strictly monitored Student Search Service.
Once registered, students will receive the PSAT/NMSQT Student Guide which contains a complete sample test with answer key and scoring instructions. In December, students will receive their test booklets and score reports with personalized feedback on critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills, including specific suggestions for improvement. Additionally, they will receive a supplemental, online tool, My College QuickStart, with access until they graduate from high school.
