The PSAT Test measures reading, writing and language, and math skills developed over many years, both in and out of school. The PSAT will be administered at LCM High School every October and is typically taken by sophomores and juniors. 

Scores should be released to students mid-December. Be looking for an email notification. Scores show potential success in AP courses and helpful advice about when to take the SAT.

Juniors who take the PSAT/NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) and meet program requirements may qualify for recognition and scholarships.  More information can be found at www.nationalmerit.org.
