PSAT Information for ALL Sophomores and PSAT/NMSQT for Juniors Who Signed Up

PSAT October 15 - 17, 2024

As part of our college and career readiness efforts at the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, we strive to set all students up for success. That's why we require all sophomores to take the free PSAT.

Sophomores: Results from this assessment help us establish a baseline for each student as they start their high school journey toward graduation. The results help teachers focus classroom instruction and support your child’s growth.

Taking the PSAT can also help your child to:

• Understand their strengths and what skills they need to work on.

• Find out what Advanced Placement courses they’re ready to take.

• Explore personalized career insights aligned to their score.

Juniors: The 2024 PSAT/NMSQT is the qualifying test for entry to the 2026 program. Juniors must take the test in the specified year of the high school program and meet the program criteria to compete for for $26 million in scholarships.

Students will be scheduled to take the PSAT on one day between October 15 - 17, 2024, using their school-issued device or a device provided to them that day. An exam day schedule will be released in October.

The PSAT is administered in a digital format, providing an easier testing experience for students.

A required Bluebook check will occur in sophomore English classes and Junior social studies courses on September 30 and October 1, 2024. Students, please bring your school-issued Chromebook.

If you have any questions, please contact the Assistant Principal over testing, Jenny Valdez at valdejm@nv.ccsd.net.
