PSAT - NMSQT and National Merit
PSAT results were released Dec 10-12 to students. All results are found online. Students need to create a College Board account if they don't already have one.
AMCHS gives the PSAT each fall to all 9th, 10th and 11th graders. It is free for all AMCHS students and no registration is required. 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 August 31 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 and PSAT 8/9 will be given Wednesday, October 16, 2019.
PSAT 8/9 is optional for freshmen. It's free but registration is required. The deadline is Sept 13! You must sign up in person in the AMCHS counseling office with Ms. Bridges. There are 150 spots available.
