PSAT/NMSQT
Grade 10: The PSAT is used to benchmark student performance
for the SAT. It is a practice test that assesses the same
knowledge and skills as the SAT.
Grade 11: The PSAT/NMSQT is also a practice test, but this one
screens students for the National Merit Scholarship Program.
WA uses these data points to advise students on next testing
options and the college selection process.
