The PSAT is a practice test for the SAT college entrance exam. It is also the test used by the National Merit Scholar Program as a qualifying test. It is a three-hour test given once a year in October. The National Merit Scholarship Competition used only the PSAT test taken in the junior year to award National Merit Scholar Semi-finalist status.
AP courses provide college-level curriculum assisting students in acquiring writing, problem solving, time management skills and habits they'll need to be successful in college. By passing the AP exam student may receive college credits. AP tests are ordered early October and offered in May. The cost is $95 per test.
