Stuyvesant High School administers the PSAT/NMSQT every October during a regular school day. However, this year’s PSAT/NMSQT will be a digital version, which requires the school to make adjustments to administer the examination successfully in this new format. Therefore, we will administer the PSAT/NMSQT on Saturday, October 14, 2023, in the morning and afternoon. Stuyvesant will automatically register all juniors to take the exam and there is no cost to students/families for this 10/14/23 PSAT/NMSQT administration. Please note, students are not required to take the exam, and no notification is necessary to the school if you decide to not take the exam during this Saturday administration.
The reason for administering the examination on a Saturday rather than on a school day are the following:
We will have two sessions:
Students and families received their time and room assignments last week and will receive another reminder on 10/10/2023 .We will not take preference requests so please be prepared for either of the two sessions when you are assigned.
In the interim, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with what to expect and to practice this new version of the exam. We recommend you visit the College Board site for more information about the PSAT/NMSQT. Additionally, the school has provided you with a PSAT prep software called PrepScholar -- a self-paced adaptive test prep focused on more than 100 skill lessons and 7,100+ practice questions with explanations. You should have received an email to your Stuy.edu account in August from PrepScholar, so please check so you can register and use the platform immediately.
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.
NOTE: 10TH GRADERS WILL HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE PSAT IN SPRING 2024
