Pre-SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT)
The PSAT and NMSQT are the same test.  It is taken in 11th grade as a way of gaining hands on practice for the SAT. 
The PSAT provides colleges with your contact information so they can start sending you information about their campuses.
The PSAT also qualifies students for the National Merit Scholarship (NMS).  Receiving the NMS provides students with money for college and gives them access to several career and college planning tools.

For more information on the PSAT and how to prepare, visit your school counselor and visit the PSAT Web site.
