PSAT/NMSQT Administration

For all Wicomico 10th graders, and 9th/11th graders who sign up to take it

Students in grades 9, 10 and 11 should mark their calendars now for Oct. 12 for the PSAT/NMSQT, an early measure of academic preparedness for college. In Wicomico County high schools, the PSAT/NMSQT will be administered on Wednesday, Oct. 12 for ALL students in grade 10. The school system will pay the exam cost for all 10th-graders as well as all ninth- and 11th-graders who sign up for the exam through the guidance office. The PSAT/NMSQT serves as an excellent preparation tool for the SAT, provides an evaluation of students’ academic skills, aids in college and career planning, and serves as a qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Corp. program, through which students can receive scholarships and recognition.
