The exam will be administered on October 14, 2025, during school hours.
The cost for the exam is $18 for AHS grade 11 students. No late registration is possible.
This is a digital exam – see below for more information about being prepared for the digital exam.
The 2025 PSAT/NMSQT registration is open only to current grade 11 students enrolled in AHS. (Grade 10 students are automatically registered for the exam.)
Payment can be submitted by completing the online payment form at the link on this page. The online payment form accepts payment online with debit or credit card. There is a 3.9% credit card processing fee for online payments.
2. Why take the PSAT/NMSQT®
The PSAT/NMSQT® measures the reading, math and writing skills needed for college. Students can use it to find their “skill gaps” and then make plans to fill those gaps before college begins. If you are unfamiliar with timed tests made up of multiple-choice questions, it gives you a good idea of what to expect when you take the College Board Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT®), which many colleges require of their applicants.
Eligible students who wish to be considered for Merit Scholarships, Special Scholarships and Achievement Scholarships should take the October 13th PSAT/NMSQT®. Eligible requirements for these scholarships are explained in detail in the information booklet which will be given to you when you return the registration form.
3. Can I cancel my exam and receive a refund?
AHS does not offer cancellations or refunds.
4. Is there financial aid available for the PSAT/NMSQT® exam?
AHS students all qualify automatically for the reduced price.

How do I prepare for the exam?
The College Board offers detailed information as well as preparation tools developed in partnership with The Khan Academy. To access these tools via The College Board’s PSAT/NMSQT® informational page, click here.
What do I need to know about the test day?
Exam day specifics and reporting information will be communicated by your campus closer to the test date. Please plan for the following:
- ALL students taking the exam must have a CURRENT school- or government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or school ID.)
- Students must bring to the exam their school-issued Chromebook in a fully charged state. We recommend you bring your power/charge cord as well.
- The exam will be administered on the College Board “Bluebook” exam app (which will be installed by the school in the Chromebook Kiosk apps). Restart your Chromebook before exam day to ensure the most current version of the exam app is installed.
- Students must know what their College Board account/profile log in credentials are – this is the same account you would use to log into MyAP for AP Classes/exams as well as the same account used for SAT exam orders on http://collegeboard.org
- Students must know the log in credentials and check that they are correct BEFORE exam day since contacting College Board on exam day will not be feasible due to time constraints.
- Do NOT create a new account or profile if you’re struggling to log into your previously created account! All exam scores and information must be on the same account.
- If a student is not sure how to log into their College Board accounts, or need to create one, please visit the College Board Accounts page at https://account.collegeboard.org/
- Students may also bring water and a snack
- Review the College Board digital exam requirements for exam day (what you may and may not bring): https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt/taking-the-test/what-to-bring-leave/what-to-bring
When and how are scores for the exam released?
Exam scores are typically released 4-6 weeks after exam administration via the College Board’s BigFuture mobile app (students need to provide a mobile/cell number on exam day to receive scores via this app.)
Please visit College Board’s website for detailed information on how to access PSAT/NMSQT® scores.
