School Day PSAT/NMSQT Testing
WHEN: On Wednesday, October 24, 2023 Fossil Ridge High School will administer the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT).
WHAT: The PSAT is a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT®. The PSAT/NMSQT has three parts: Reading, Math, and Writing & Language. The most common reasons students take the PSAT/NMSQT are to: help assess skills necessary for college-level work, prepare for the SAT, and enter competitions for National Scholarships (junior year), and receive information from colleges.

Freshman (9th grade) students may register to take the exam for a fee of $18.
