*You must sign up for the PSAT at your high school or one in your community. The PSAT is administered by high schools, not through test centers. Online registration for the PSAT is NOT available.

If you want to take the PSAT, contact your high school counselor or principal to find about registering for the tests; paying test fees; and learning the correct date, time, and location that your school will give the test. Also contact your guidance office for a copy of the PSAT Student Bulletin to help you prepare.
