The PSAT 10 is designed specifically for sophomores and serves as excellent practice for the PSAT/NMSQT you'll take junior year. This is a low-stakes opportunity to get comfortable with standardized testing!
Unlike the PSAT/NMSQT in junior year, the PSAT 10 does not qualify you for National Merit Scholarship. Think of it as a valuable practice round!
Your score report (available 4-6 weeks later) will show your strengths and areas for improvement — use this to guide your test prep strategy!
