Congratulations to our Class of 2021 NMSQT Finalists!

Their accomplishments are phenomenal!

• In October of 2019, there were 1.5 million juniors who took the PSAT.
• In September of 2020, 16,000 qualified as Semi-Finalists of which 16 were Diamond Bar High Seniors!

• February 2021, NMSQT announces 15,000 Finalists of which ALL 16 DBHS Seniors qualified!

The nationwide pool of Finalists represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors and includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.

DBHS has partnered with Revolution Prep to provide our students with the opportunity to practice taking college admissions exams while remaining safely at home.

This proctored practice exam is the best way to get a real-time snapshot of testing performance in order to create a testing plan and timeline. This exam is not associated with the college board and will not qualify 11th graders for the NMSQT. Click HERE for NMSQT qualification process.

Sign up at the DBHS Web Store. It is listed under USB Practice Exam.
