MTPS sophomores and juniors took the PSAT on October 12, 2022. The PSAT is a shortened version of the SAT assessment. Students completed sections in critical reading, writing, mathematics without a calculator, and mathematics with a calculator. This test offers students a great opportunity to get ready for college. Some of the advantages of taking the PSAT for students are:

1. Connection to scholarships. When students take the PSAT, they are connected to scholarship partners, who offer over $220 million annually in scholarships to qualified low-income and minority students.
2. Free, personalized SAT practice. The PSAT is good preparation for the SAT. Students’ scores also unlock a personalized SAT study plan on Khan Academy. It’s completely free. Simply go to satpractice.org, create an account, and link College Board and Khan Academy accounts to get a study plan based on test results.
3. AP course recommendations. Students’ score reports will suggest AP courses that could be a great match based on performance. AP can give students an edge in the admission process and allows them to earn college credit while in high school, which could save time and money in college.

Scores and PSAT test booklets will be distributed in December through the guidance offices. In the meantime, consider checking out the free SAT Preparation resources offered through the
