The PSAT
Please Note:
The last administration of the old SAT was on 1/22/05. Beginning 3/12/05, only the New SAT will be administered. You should be studying the New SAT book. Go there!
The PSAT
The real name of the PSAT is the PSAT/NMSQT, which stands for the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The PSAT is very similar in format and content to the SAT (with one big difference that we will explain) and is administered each year to high-school juniors who will soon take the SAT. Colleges do not directly consider PSAT scores when making acceptance decisions.
At this point, you should be asking, “So why should I take the PSAT, if colleges don’t care about it.” We’re glad you asked.
