PSAT – The PSAT/NMSQT measures reading, math, and writing skills.  The exam serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test and is given once a year in mid-October, free of charge, to interested students, grades 9-11.  The PSAT will also provide practice for the SAT.  Registration on site at MHS.

SAT – Standardized college admissions exam.  An “aptitude” type test that measures the student’s reasoning and critical thinking skills. Areas of evaluations: Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing.  The SAT is best suited for students with strong reasoning skills.  Registration, test sites, and dates are available at:  www.collegeboard.com.

ACT – Standardized college admissions exam.  A curriculum based test that measures the student’s knowledge of subject matter covered in high school.
