The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) is one of the most important tests a student in high school can take. As the word “preliminary” implies, the PSAT closely conforms in the areas of format and content to college admission tests like the SAT or the ACT. Another reason why the PSAT is important is because the National Merit Scholarship Corporation uses it as one of the criteria in awarding scholarships. The PSAT is especially helpful for diagnosing areas of strength and weakness for the future college applicant. The PSAT is highly regarded as a predictor of success on the ACT or SAT. The scoring report of the PSAT shows the percentile scores in several categories, including reading comprehension, mathematics skills, and language arts.
