Students have the opportunity to take the PSAT (Preliminary SAT) on Wednesday, October 9, or Thursday, October 17, at the school they attend. This assessment is the qualifying exam for juniors hoping to receive a National Merit Scholarship or award.

The PSAT is also used by many post-secondary institutions as an eligibility measure for course placement. PSAT will be a digital exam issued on the students' school device. It is recommended that any junior who expects to go to college take the exam as preparation for future nationally-normed standardized tests (SAT or ACT, for example). These assessments are administered later in the junior year. Registration is now open and can be completed online using the SmartSchoolK12 payment system through the registration deadline on Friday, September 20, at 3:00pm. Families are encouraged to visit the district PSAT/NMSQT testing website for additional information or email assessment@mvpschools.org.
