[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the link it says they took the 2022 test. Is this a typo? Doesn't the list contain current seniors so they would have taken the test junor year or 2023 not 2022?[/quote]

I think it's:

2023 in oct - juniors take test
2024 in sept - semifinalists are announced and can apply for to be a scholar
2025 - finalists and scholars announced

I think this is why they call it the 2025 program, because any awards are made at that time when the kids are going to college so the program year corresponds to the graduation year.[/quote]

Don’t they usually take it in sophomore year?[/quote]

only 11th grade scores count towards national merit [/quote]

In that case why do all 10th graders take it in MCPS and optional for 11th?[/quote]

Not ALL 10th grade students take the PSAT. They are not required to. If they CHOOSE to take the PSAT when they are in 10th, that score will not count for national merit. Then, in 11th grade, those who CHOOSE to take the PSAT can and those scores can qualify them for NM. [/quote]

Students who didn't take PSAT in 10th sometimes will just wait until 11th to take the test. I think schools and others advise 10th grade students to take it to get a feel for the test (especially after test went digital) and see how they do. #testmakingcollegeboard [/quote]
