More than just a practice test for high school students, the Preliminary SAT (PSAT) is also what the National Merit Scholarship Program uses to determine student eligibility for college scholarships.
Qualification for recognition is based on the student's combined verbal, math, and writing skill scores on the PSAT/NMSQT taken in the student's junior year of high school. PSAT score cutoffs vary each year by state, but typically range in the high 180s and low 190s. Students must also self-identify as Hispanic on the PSAT/NMSQT.
