The PSAT is a practice exam - The Preliminary SAT measures what you're learning in school, determines if you're on track, and open doors for opportunities to prepare and pay for college.
This test will be given during the school day. We recommend all 11th graders take the PSAT if they have plans to attend college after high school.
