Testing Date: October 16, 2025

Testing Location: Sanderson High School

Sanderson will administer the PSAT/NMSQT on October 16, 2025. Registration is required and will open in late August.

The PSAT/NMSQT contains items with Algebra I and some Geometry concepts, so if students have not completed Math I, they may be better served to take it in a future year.  While all high school students can register to take the PSAT/NMSQT, the district will only pay for 11th grade students who are likely to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship.  Any other students interested in taking the PSAT/NMSQT can pay $15.30 to take the assessment.  The district will pay for the administration of current WCPSS 11th grade students who have a GPA in the top 10% of the district. Eleventh grade students with a GPA below the cutoff who want to participate will pay the exam fee. 

Please contact our testing coordinator with any questions: shs-testing@wcpss.net 

Students can also take the official PSAT practice tests and get diagnostic information that can be used to improve future performance. These tests can be found here.
