The PSAT/NMSQT test is scheduled for Saturday, October 15th @ MHHS. Students in 10th and 11th grade who have already signed up to take the test should plan to arrive in the front lobby by 7:45am on that day. The test will last until 11:30-12:00.
Please review the following information to help prepare for the test.
What to Bring on Test Day
- No.2 pencils with erasers
- Social Security Number
- Student ID Number
Leave These Devices at Home
- Anything that can connect to the Internet
- Anything that makes noise or “talks”
- Calculators that use electrical outlets
- Calculators with QWERTY keypads
- Tablets or cellphones
- Laptops or handheld computers
- Paper-tape calculators
- Calculators with a pen-input device or stylus
Calculator Smarts
- Bring your own calculator. You can’t share one.
- Don’t bring a brand-new calculator. Bring one you know.
- Practice for the test using the same calculator you’ll use on test day.
- Decide how to solve a problem, then decide if you need your calculator. This might surprise you, but calculators don’t always save time. In fact, the Math Test includes some questions where it’s faster not to use a calculator, even though you’re allowed to.
