Hi everyone! I'm trying to plan ahead for taking the PSAT/NMSQT. Does anyone know the important dates for registration and test-taking? I don't want to miss any deadlines!
Hello! Planning ahead is always a great idea. For the 2024-2025 school year, the main administration of the PSAT/NMSQT will take place on a school day between October 1st and October 31st. Schools may also choose to administer the test on Saturday, October 12th, or Saturday, October 26th. Schools and districts choose when to administer the test, so administrators at your institution are the only ones who can say for sure when in October your test will be.
Keep in mind that registration is managed by individual schools, so you'll need to reach out to your school counselor for specific registration deadlines and procedures. It's a good idea to contact them as soon as the new school year begins, as registration can start as early as August or September. Remember that the PSAT/NMSQT is administered at schools and testing centers, so you'll need to check with your counselor to determine your school's testing location and other logistics.
Best of luck!
