PSAT/NMSQT

PSAT/ NMSQT

The PSAT NMSQT will be given on Wednesday, October 16th to all 10th and 11th graders. Students should report directly to their testing rooms -  we have asked Advisory teachers to share these locations with the students.

October 16th will be an early release day with a dismissal time of 12:55 PM. A grab’n’go lunch will be available for purchase in the cafeteria prior to departure. Students receiving College Board Approved Accommodations will finish after the dismissal and will need to ensure their own transportation home. If students wish to waive their accommodations, a letter signed by parent/guardian must be received in Student Services by Tuesday October 15th.

For the Day of the Test

  • Please ensure that students get a good night’s sleep and eat breakfast the day of the test.
  • Students will need to bring their own pencils and calculators. These will NOT be provided on the day of the test. Students will NOT be able to get one from their math teacher that day. It is recommended that students check their calculator batteries and bring extras.
  • Students will have to make sure that their cell phone is off and put away in their backpacks, not in a pocket.
  • There will be breaks throughout the test during which students may eat snacks if they bring them, but they will not be provided.

If you have any questions please call Chris Bird, PSAT Supervisor in Student Services at 703-446-1643.
