Description

The SAT Suite of Assessments, administered by the College Board, is an integrated system made up of these tests:

• Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)

• Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT)/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) and PSAT 10

• PSAT 8/9

The tests measure the same skills and knowledge in ways that make sense for different grade levels, so it's easier for students, parents, and educators to monitor student progress. "The SAT Suite of Assessments" provides an overview of each of the aforementioned test.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TAKING THE PSAT/NMSQT?

As students advance from grade to grade, the tests will keep pace, matching the scope and difficulty of work found in the classroom. This helps students see where they can improve and helps teachers adjust instruction for students who are ahead or behind. Participating in the PSA/NMSQT can also connect students to scholarships and awards.

HOW CAN STUDENTS PREPARE TO TAKE THE SAT?

There are many services to assist students in preparing for taking the SAT. For example, College Board and Khan Academy partnered to develop the free resource "Official SAT Practice.
