PSAT PROGRAM

The PSAT test is a "warm-up" test for the SAT I. It is given only twice a year -- (usually) on the third Saturday and the fourth Tuesday of October. At most schools, information about the test will be distributed in the form of the PSAT Student Bulletin. Students are asked to register for that school's test day (Saturday or Tuesday). Check with your local school district for precise dates. The PSAT is usually taken in the fall of the sophomore and junior years.
