PSAT/NMSQT for Juniors

Juniors are scheduled to take the PSAT/NMSQT on Tuesday, October 17, 2023.

The PSAT/NMSQT is a mandatory test for all of our SMHS junior students. Students must bring a fully charged Chromebook and their Chromebook charger. 

Check in begins at 8:15 a.m. Students who arrive after 8:40 a.m. will not be able to test and will be sent home and receive an unexcused absence. The test will begin promptly at 8:45 a.m. There are no makeups scheduled for this exam.

  • 11th grade students will be allowed to wear spirit dress on this day.
  • Please remind them to bring water and a light snack for their 10 minute break in between test sessions. 
  • Juniors will be dismissed for the remainder of the day after the completion of the final test session (approximately 12:30-1:00 p.m.). 

We hope you can help us by  communicating with your 11th grade student on the importance of this exam. This exam serves a few purposes:

  1. National Merit Scholarship qualification
  2. SAT practice
  3. Pre- and post- data collection for classroom instruction and planning

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
