The PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test) and NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) are actually the same test. Frequently you will see this written as the PSAT/NMSQT, which is how we will refer to these on this page. Often the importance of the PSAT/NMSQT is underplayed, but becoming a National Merit Finalist is a great way to set yourself apart in the college admissions game.
