2026 PSAT Information
Guilford County Schools is pleased to offer the PSAT/NMSQT to high school students this fall. The PSAT/NMSQT provides students with valuable practice for the SAT, personalized feedback on academic strengths, access to free college and career planning resources, and for many 11th grade students, entry into the National Merit Scholarship Program and other scholarship opportunities. Because the assessment mirrors the digital SAT experience, it is an excellent opportunity for students to become familiar with digital testing before college admissions testing.
This year's PSAT/NMSQT will be administered digitally at our school on Tuesday, October 6. The information below explains how students may participate.
