2. Why take the PSAT/NMSQT® exam?
The PSAT/NMSQT® (Preliminary SAT®/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) is a 2.5-hour version of the College Board’s SAT®. The PSAT/NMSQT® measures verbal, mathematical, and writing abilities important to success in university and provides practice for taking the SAT® later in the junior or senior year. The PSAT® can be used to predict performance on the SAT®. The PSAT® is not used in university admission; scores will be sent only to the student and to the school. In the junior year, the PSAT® exam score is used as the qualifying score for the National Merit Scholarship Program.
3. Can I cancel my exam and receive a refund?
No. Cancellations and refunds of the exam fees is not possible.
4. Where do I report on exam day?
Students should arrive by 7:45am so that exam administration can start testing promptly at 8am. Please walk in the school main entrance near the Football Field/Flag pole. Room assignments will be posted on the day of the PSAT/NMSQT and you will need to show a photo ID to enter your testing room.
This is a digital exam – see below for more information. All information regarding testing devices will be communicated via email 2-3 weeks before the exam.
5. Are there fee reductions available?
If taking the PSAT® is a financial burden, please speak to your child’s MHS guidance counselor directly for a reduction code.
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 have with them the approved digital device in fully charged status (it is recommended to bring a power/charge cord.)
- This exam will be completed digitally on personal devices. If the student does NOT have a personal Windows device or Macbook (personal chromebooks are not allowed) please contact Alice Bonomi at abonomi@email.medfield.net
- All information regarding testing devices will be communicated via email 2-3 weeks before the exam.
- 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.)
