PSAT/NMSQT Information for Parents of Sophomores and Juniors
On Wednesday, October 22, 2025, sophomores and juniors at Morristown High School will have the opportunity to take the PSAT/NMSQT. Students have already been registered and the Morris School District has covered all associated fees. The PSAT/NMSQT will be administered digitally, and students must use their charged school-issued Chromebooks for the exam.
The PSAT/NMSQT is an important step in a child’s academic journey. It provides an early indication of their readiness for college and career and mirrors the format of the SAT. Participation in this test helps students begin to focus on their college and career aspirations and the educational path needed to achieve those goals.
Here are some key benefits of taking the PSAT/NMSQT:
1. Skill Assessment: The test evaluates reading, math, and writing skills essential for college and career success. After the exam, students will receive an online score report highlighting areas for improvement, which can guide them in strengthening their academic skills.
2. SAT Preparation: It offers a preview of the SAT, helping students become familiar with its format and content.
3. College and Scholarship Opportunities: Through Student Search Services, students have the option to share their information with colleges and scholarship agencies, which can open doors to potential opportunities.
4. National Merit Recognition: Juniors who achieve high scores may be eligible for National Merit Recognition and scholarships.
5. Advanced Academic Potential: The results provide valuable insights into potential advanced academic opportunities in high school.
To help prepare for the exam, students can review the following resources:
- PSAT/NMSQT Student Guides
- Build Your Study Plan – SAT Suite | College Board
For any additional questions about the PSAT/NMSQT, students should reach out to their school counselor. Further details about the class schedule for exam day will be provided by our principal, Mr. Manning, as the date approaches.
