| If your child caught the flu when the PSAT was given at the high school, do you need a doctor's note why they missed it? |

| Not sure I understand. They didn’t take it so they’re not eligible. Are you asking for a way to qualify without taking it? |

There is an alternate entry option for NMST. Submit the paperwork and see if your child gets approved. My DC was approved (did not need a doctor's note), and was able to submit an SAT score.

| My DD got approved through alternate entry. But I think the deadline has passed now. |
