PSAT 8/9
TMSA is allowing our 7th and 8th grade scholars to take the PSAT on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at 8:00 A.M.
Why should your student take the PSAT?
- S/he will gain practice with standardized tests without any pressure.
- Magnet high schools and private schools often use PSAT scores for admittance.
- It offers an opportunity to see your student’s progress relative to college preparation and over the years when they take it in 8th grade.
- Students will take the PSAT in 11th grade to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship. Practice will help to improve your student’s score and understanding of the test.
- Access to career roadmaps, which help students see where their interests can take them.
Important Items to Remember:
- The cost is $12, payable online via MySchoolBucks by October 16th
- Tests will only be ordered based on the number of paid students
- Sign up with your student’s homeroom teacher by October 16th
