Interested sophomores may choose to take this exam as a practice but cannot qualify for the program. In general, students who score in the top 1% in the nation on the PSAT/NMSQT are deemed Semifinalists for the National Merit Scholarship Program.
This is NOT a practice SAT. Sophomore and juniors will still be provided several Practice SAT opportunities throughout the year; this exam is only for juniors who wish to compete for the National Merit Scholarship.
All interested students should sign up with Ms. Grahn in the main office with a $20 fee before Friday, September 22nd. Cash or check made out to Westmont High School will be accepted, spots are limited.
