<p>This question may sound stupid, sorry!</p>
<p>no its not…</p>
<p>It shouldn’t be. Just look at a college’s website to see what the standardized testing requirements are. Usually they require the SAT or the ACT with writing.</p>
<p>Thanks! On some chance threads people were saying there PSAT scores so I was a little confused.</p>
<p>The PSAT/NMSQT exam is the qualifying examination for the National Merit, National Achievement, and National Hispanic scholarships. It also is a predictor for SAT general exam scores (PSAT score x 10 = estimated SAT score). That is why people mention it in their Chance threads. The actual PSAT score that will qualify a student for NMSemi-finalist and Finalist status or for NA or NH status changes a bit from one year to the next, and is different for each state, US territory, and US students living abroad. However if you know the scores that qualified in the past few years, you can estimate whether or not you are likely to qualify for one of these statuses.</p>
<p>If you have never done well on standardized exams, and a practice PSAT indicates that you won’t score in the range for NM, NA, or NH honors, go ahead and take the morning off from school. That’s what Happykid did, and her life has turned out just fine.</p>
