Testing Date: October 16, 2025

Testing Location: Sanderson High School

Sanderson will administer the PSAT/NMSQT on October 16, 2025. Registration is NOW OPEN!

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.  The district will pay for the administration of current WCPSS 11th grade students who have a GPA in the top 10% of the district (4.4>). 

All other students interested in taking the PSAT/NMSQT can pay to take the assessment at a cost of $15.12 for 11th grade students with a GPA below the cutoff and $16.56 for all other grade levels.   

Exam registration fees should be paid online through School Cash Online.

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.
