PSAT - NMSQT and National Merit
The PSAT will be given to all 11th graders on October 13. No need to sign up. It's free!
All 9th and 10th graders who wish to take the PSAT will also be able to sign up to take it. It's still free, but students must register. Registration links are found in the 9th and 10th grade Schoology grade groups.
The deadline for 9th and 10th graders to register is September 13.
All results are found online. Students need to create a College Board account if they don't already have one.

Home school students who wish to take the PSAT must live in the AMCHS attendance zone and be in the 10th or 11th grade. Registration is free but you must be signed up no later than September 13 so a test can be ordered. Important reminder: all students who want a calculator must provide their own.
We do not pass out calculators on PSAT testing day.
