Did you know that taking the PSAT8/9 and PSAT 10 can help you improve your score for the PSAT/NMSQT? Plus, if you do well, you could even qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program when you reach Junior Year! It is definitely worth taking advantage of these opportunities.
Did you know that the PSAT 10 is the same as the PSAT/NMSQT regarding the subject matter? However, there are two key differences. First, students take it in the spring of their 10th-grade year. Second, it doesn’t qualify students for the National Merit Scholarship Program. It’s open to any student who attends a school that offers it, so it’s definitely worth considering if you’re in 10th grade!
If you’re a high school student looking to enter the National Merit Scholarship Program, taking the PSAT/NMSQT as a junior may help you meet the requirements. This test is an academic competition that recognizes and awards scholarships to high-achieving students. Remember that the PSAT 10, although similar in subject matter, does not qualify students for the National Merit Scholarship Program. So, if you’re in your 10th-grade year, it’s worth considering which test to take!
