The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a standardized test that serves as both practice for the SAT and the entry point for the National Merit Scholarship Program. The PSAT/NMSQT evaluates a student’s skills in mathematics, reading, and writing, helping identify areas for improvement before taking the SAT. High scores on this test can also qualify students for recognition and scholarships through the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).

​
