Hi guys, I was hoping someone could help me understand how the PSAT registration works? Is it done via my high school or do I need to register online on my own? Thanks for any help in advance!
Hello! The PSAT is typically administered by high schools, and registration is most commonly coordinated through your school's counselor or guidance office. It's not something you sign up for online independently, unlike the SAT. If your school is participating in the PSAT, you'll be able to register there.
Sometimes, however, smaller or rural schools might not offer the PSAT. If that's the case for you, or for some reason your school isn't offering the test this year, you would need to find a nearby school that is offering it and see if you can register to take the exam there. Contact the school's guidance counselor or testing coordinator for more information.
Keep in mind, the PSAT is usually given in October, so make sure you have all the details sorted out well before then. Good luck!
