In an effort to support our home school students in their post-secondary endeavors, the Anoka-Hennepin school district has reserved 25 PSAT tests for 10th and 11th grade home schoolers who are interested. The PSAT/NMSQT is the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The PSAT is a great primer for the SAT, and even the ACT, but it’s more than just a trial run. PSAT scores are used to identify National Merit Scholars and award merit scholarships.There is a mandatory digital readiness check on October 5th from 8:00-9:00am (typically takes 20-30 minutes) before the exam that participants must complete, no exceptions. Once registration is received and processed, no refunds will be issued. Testing held at:Secondary Technical Education Program (STEP) at 1353 West Highway 10, Anoka MN 55303 Enter the Forum Rooms A/D.
