As noted earlier this term, Stuyvesant will administer the PSAT/NMSQT to juniors on October 25 and 26, 2024. Juniors and their families received notification on October 7 as noted below and will receive date and room assignments on October 18.
Approximately half of the junior class will be scheduled for each testing date. Please note, we cannot accept requests for testing date preferences. You will be notified of the date you are assigned and your room assignment on or before October 18, 2024.
Please see the key information below:
In preparation for the digital version of the PSAT/NMSQT, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the PSAT/NMSQT Student Guide. A full-length adaptive digital PSAT/NMSQT practice is available on the Bluebook™app. Additionally, the school is providing you with a PSAT prep software to support your preparation. PrepScholar provides self-paced adaptive test prep focused on more than 100 skill lessons and 7,100+ practice questions with explanations. You should have received to your @nycstudents.net account, an email on Tuesday, September 10, from PrepScholar to your @nycstudents.net account with directions on how to login to the platform.
If you have questions, students may stop in room 209 and speak to Ms. Fanelli or families may email Ms. Ingram at ringram3@schools.nyc.gov, and we will follow up accordingly.
Any junior who chooses not to sit for the in-school PSAT/NMSQT will follow the abbreviated school day schedule that all non-test takers will follow on the October 25, 2024 test date. Period attendance will be taken during the abbreviated school day schedule.
Test-taking juniors (Grade 11) only are to arrive at Stuyvesant High School and be in their assigned test room no later than 8:15 am (Breakfast will be available starting at 7:30 am on Friday, October 25, 2024).
