PSAT - Wednesday, October 13, 2021
The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) for the 2021-2022 school year is scheduled for Wednesday, October 13, 2021, at all our District high schools. Your Grade 11 student is encouraged to take the exam, as once again, the CVUSD Board of Education is proud to offer the PSAT/NMSQT free of charge to our juniors. Exam ordering has begun; juniors (Grade 11) register online via this link Google Form and using their @learn.conejousd.net email address.
PSAT 2021 FALL Registration Form (11th Graders) https://bit.ly/CVPSATFALL2021
For grades 9 & 10, registration is now available space permitting for a small number of students in other grades. This possibility depends largely on the health/safety guidelines in effect related to the Corona Virus. If gatherings are limited in size and and/or social distance is required, there may be no choice but to limit registration. To register go to the Q Parent Portal to pay here: https://conejo.vcoe.org/parentconnect/
PSAT Q Payment instructions (9th/10th Graders) https://bit.ly/CVPSATQPAY
Registration deadline September 13, 2021.
For students in Grades 9 and 10, the PSAT/NMSQT is only a practice exam and a fee of $25 is required using a credit card through the Q Parent Portal. We will open the portal for payments and provide instructions soon. Please contact your school’s College and Career Center Counselor with questions.
- The PSAT helps students prepare for the SAT. Students can become familiar with the types of questions and the directions they will see on the SAT. The three parts of the PSAT are critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills.
- The PSAT assesses skills developed through years of study in a wide range of courses as well as through experiences outside the classroom. It is many students’ first official step on the path to college.
- The PSAT lets individual students compare their ability to do college work with the ability of other college-bound students. After the test, students receive a Report of Student Answers and a Test Book to review their performance.
- Taken in the junior year, the PSAT/NMSQT serves as an initial screening of more than one million participants in the National Merit Scholarship Program, which identifies and honors academically talented students and provides college undergraduate scholarships for a sizable number of the participants.
Once registration is complete, your student should follow this link to the College Board for practice exams and additional information: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/psat/about.html. After checking this site, contact your student’s counselor if you still have unanswered questions.
When your PSAT/NMSQT scores are ready, you'll get an email with instructions on creating your College Board account. Go to your online score report, and use your access code to view your scores.
If you have other questions, please email Juandeane Doherty, jdoherty@conejousd.org or Lorene Whitehouse, lwhitehouse@conejousd.org
