2022 PSAT/NMSQT® Test Date: October 11, 2023
Deadline to register: September 7, 2023 (11:59pm EST)
It is strongly recommended that all Juniors sit for the PSAT/NMSQT®. Doing so enables students to take a standardized test in the familiar environment of our campus and enables them to be eligible for the National Merit program, as well as other scholarships that partner with The College Board. Most colleges and universities use PSAT® scores to contact prospective students, so you may notice a dramatic increase in mail from schools after taking the exam. Once available, PSAT® scores can also be linked to Khan Academy for free, individualized preparation for the SAT®.
Sophomores who wish to sit for the PSAT/NMSQT® at CFS may do so. CFS does not recommend the PSAT® for students below 10th grade.
Registration Information:
The cost of the PSAT® taken at CFS is $35.

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 their school-issued Chromebook in a fully-charged state to the exam (we recommend to bring a charge cord as well!)
- Restart the Chromebook before exam day so that the exam app “Bluebook” is the most current version.
- 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
- 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 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.
- 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
- The “BlueBook” app has a built-in calculator, but it is recommended that students bring their own external calculator. One will not be provided.
When and how are scores for the exam released?
Exam scores are typically released in November and December via The College Board’s online portal.
When PSAT/NMSQT® scores are ready online, the student will receive from College Board an email with instructions to go to the online score report, and how to use the access code to view scores. Please visit College Board’s website for detailed information on how to access PSAT/NMSQT® scores.
