Registration & Dates
The 2008 PSAT/NMSQT test dates are Saturday, October 18, 2008. You must sign up for the PSAT/NMSQT at the high school guidance office and pay a fee (minimum $13, plus may add admin fee). This test is administered by high schools, not through test centers. Online registration for the PSAT/NMSQT is not available.
Also, ask the guidance office for a copy of the Official Student Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT to help you prepare before test day.
Home-Schooled Students are recommended to register in June on the collegeboard page.

The PSAT/NMSQT score report is sent directly to your home address. On the test day, when completing the basic information on the answer sheet, be sure to enter your state’s home school code in the “school code” section. The test supervisor will provide this for you, but try to remember to bring it with you. You will also need to speak to Ara about getting a LEAP ID card.
These are excepts from Collegeboard.com Please go there yourself and familiarize yourself with the site, you will begin to visit it a lot. Go ahead and sign up for the “My Organizer” you can get questions of the day sent to you from now until you take your final actual SAT. You can view your child’s answers to question after the test if you pay for that service (well worth it) and sign up for an online course. It is $69 but Alyssa qualified for a $1000 scholarship after using it for her second time round. Wow $1000 for $69, good bargain.
My suggested schedule of test taking based on many advise pages I’ve read:
PSAT – latest in fall of 11th grade. (may take earlier for practice of the practice, but will need it again in fall of 11th to qualify for NMSQT- good luck!)
get results by Dec, have until spring to study.
SAT – take the true SAT in Spring of 11th grade.
get results in summer have “all summer” to study for 2nd try at SAT’s
SAT – take for a second and final time in fall of 12th grade. (any more than 2 times in not cool to colleges)
get results just in time to apply for scholarships and colleges by Christmas
Any questions, call Dawn or see Collegeboard.com yourself.
