PSAT -Preliminary test taken by college bound students in October of their junior year of high school. While most students take the ACT for college, we also have a small group of junior students take the PSAT for the chance to qualify in the National Merit Scholarship Program. This is a nationally recognized program. Just earning the score as a commended student should be placed on a college resume. The PSAT results also give an indication of college readiness for each individual student. The cost of the PSAT is $18. The top students in the class will be targeted first for registration. Participation in this test allows their name to be included in the National Merit Scholarship Program. Even students who plan to take only the ACT should take this test for standardized test practice. This test is offered at Pleasant High School to the first 15 students to register. 

The PSAT will be given on Tuesday, October 17, 2023 from 7:30-11:30am. This is a nationally standardized test.
