PSAT TEST DATES 2024
PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Admission Test), also known as NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test), is an exam co-sponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) and the College Board. It determines the students who will be selected for the National Merit Scholarships, and the top scorers are awarded Scholarship money. This Scholarship will later help with a student’s college tuition.
