PSAT is coming - get signed up!
The PSAT exam will be given on Wednesday, October 22 from 8:00 - 10:30 am at Marshall County High School. The PSAT is only given one time a year. As juniors, students take it to practice for the SAT, to enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, or for merit-based scholarships offered by their parent's employer (if applicable). Students take the PSAT as 10th graders to practice and can also qualify for national recognition programs.
The cost of the PSAT is $15 and is available to current students at MCHS. This year, the PSAT will be online, so students must be prepared to bring their school-issued chromebooks.
Students may register with Mrs. Jackson before school, during class changes, at lunch, and after school. Sign-ups will begin on Friday, September 19 with the deadline for registering set for Friday, September 26 at 3:15 pm. Payment can be in the form of cash or check and must be made at the time of registration. (Checks are to be made payable to MCHS.)
What can I do to be more prepared for the PSAT?
Everything you need to know can be found at the following website - just start at the top of the page and keep scrolling down.

What is the National Merit Scholarship Corporation? This scholarship competition awards approximately 8,200 scholarships annually. The selection process starts with the choosing of National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists and Commended Scholars. Cutoffs vary from state to state but typically Semi-Finalists score in the top one percent of students in their state and Commended Scholars between the top one to four percent. Most of the approximately 16,000 Semi-Finalists become Finalists, and half of those ultimately receive National Merit Scholarships.
