The Preliminary SAT, also known as the PSAT/NMSQT® (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test), is a practice version of the SAT exam. You can only take the PSAT once per year, and many students take the test in both 10th and 11th grade. If you earn a high score on the PSAT your junior year, you could qualify to receive a National Merit Scholarship—$180 million dollars in merit scholarships are awarded to students each year. The PSAT is 2 hours and 45 minutes long and tests your skills in reading, writing, and math. Unlike the SAT, the highest score possible on the PSAT is 1520.
The PSAT will be given on line at Terry High School on Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024 at 8:45 a.m. In order to take the PSAT, you have to be in 10th or 11th grade. The cost is $20 and can either be paid through myschoolbucks.com
or exact cash given to Terry’s bookkeeper in the front office before 11:00 a.m.. All payments must be made before September 16, 2024. Once you pay for the PSAT go to
