What Is the PSAT Exam?
The preliminary SAT®, or PSAT®, is a test offered to high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors in the United States. It functions as a practice test for future college admissions exams and provides students with the opportunity to qualify for scholarships provided by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). The College Board, a nationally recognized educational organization, creates, administers, and scores the PSAT® exam. Most students take the test at their high schools on a predetermined date in October.
