The PSAT
|
|
|
The PSAT/NMSQT stands for Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. It's a standardized test that provides practice for the SAT Reasoning Test. Students who score in the top 2% qualify to enter National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) scholarship programs.
You may take the PSAT in order to familiarize yourself with the test and kinds of questions you'll encounter on the SAT. However, it's important to note that the PSAT, although great practice for the SAT, is a shorter test and does not have an essay, thus the best way to prepare for the SAT is to take actual SAT tests. This test is offered once a year in October and is usually taken during your junior year of high school.

|

The SAT Subject Tests, formerly known as the SAT II Subject Achievement Tests, are subject-specific tests in Math, Chemistry, Spanish, History, and more. Each subject test lasts one hour and consists entirely of multiple-choice questions. These tests are designed to measure what you know about specific disciplines. It's always a good idea to check with the schools you're applying to and find out if they require SAT II scores, and if so, if they require any particular tests. www.collegeboard.com.

Advanced Placement
|
|
|
AP, or Advanced Placement exams, is not involved in admissions decisions, but they can certainly help you once you get to college. Many high schools offer AP courses in a variety of subjects. If you take an AP course and receive a high enough score on the AP exam for that course, you can earn college credit while in high school. Additionally, some college admissions officers look for AP courses as a sign of a challenging high school curriculum. The more opportunities you take to academically challenge yourself, the more impressive it is to colleges and universities.www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html
