Jokes—everyone loves them unless everyone means 15 to 17-year-olds living off of a jar of coffee and sheer will to pass the, arguably, most important test of their life, for in their case the joke dies out. Since the 50s, high school students every October across the nation become flooded with panic as their PSAT and ACT tests arrive. Khan Academy and Princeton books help and definitely have their place, although other avenues for the structure must ensue.

Hundreds of students in NC sat down today to take the PSAT/NMSQT test on Wednesday, October 3. NC sophomores registered for the test free of charge. However, freshmen who wanted to take the PSAT/NMSQT needed to pay an $18 fee. While also receiving practice for the SAT, students who score well enough on the PSAT may receive the National Merit Scholarship (NMSQT).

It’s PSAT time!

NC turns into a testing haven as underclassmen take the PSAT from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Students came to school in pajamas ready to face the long test — or for those not taking the test, a long homeroom — that took up most of first and second period.

PSAT takes over NC

October 19, 2016
A number of NC freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will take the redesigned PSAT on Wednesday, October 14. The College Board announced a modified scoring, format, and content would appear on the SAT in 2016, with a preview of the modifications on the 2015 PSAT. The PSAT also qualifies participants with top tier scores for the National Merit Scholarship, which provides a full ride to any college in the United States.
