PSAT - NMSQT and National Merit
All results are found online. Students need to create a College Board account if they don't already have one.
AMCHS will give the PSAT this year to all 11th grade students. With new social distancing restrictions, we will not be able to offer it to all 9th and 10th graders. Registration for 9th and 10th graders will be in the Schoology group for those grades. There is a 150 person limit for 9th and a 150 person limit for 0th grades. It is free for all AMCHS students but registration is required for 9th and 10th graders.
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 14 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.
PSAT will be given October 14, 2020.
