PSAT for REL Sophomores



The PSAT will be given to all REL 10th graders on Wednesday, October 14th, during the school day. There is no fee or registration process for 10th grade students to take this test.

What is the PSAT?
It measures the knowledge and skills you've developed in reading, writing and language, and math.

Why take the PSAT?
This is a great way for 10th graders to preview and practice for the SAT.  In addition, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation uses the PSAT as an initial screen for candidates for the National Merit Scholarship Program.  The College Board has also recently partnered with other scholarship providers so they can more easily use the PSAT data to reach eligible low income and minority students in high schools across the country.

What should I bring to the PSAT?
Two #2 pencils with erasers

Should I share my e-mail address and opt in to the Student Search Service?
If you share your email address and opt in, it’s easier for colleges, scholarship programs, and the College Board to get in touch with you.  For more information about the student search service click here:  https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/about/benefits/student-search-service

How do I get the results?
Be sure to provide a valid e-mail address when submitting answers on the student questionnaire before the start of the test.  The College Board will email students an access code to view their online score reports.  You'll have access to a robust online score report designed to help you understand your scores better. It will provide a detailed breakdown of your performance and give you a better idea of what you need to work on most. Your score report will also list AP courses you may be particularly well-prepared for.
