Benefits of the PSAT/NMSQT®
SAT® Preparation and Skills Feedback
The PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT® evaluate the same skills. Taking the PSAT/NMSQT
is an effective way for your child to start getting ready for the SAT, a widely
recognized college admission test.
In addition to providing a practice experience, the PSAT/NMSQT gives students
personalized feedback on their academic strengths and weaknesses. The feedback on
the PSAT/NMSQT Score Report Plus will help your child develop the skills necessary for
success — not only on the SAT, but also in college and careers.
