[BHS Etree] ADMIN: 2023 PSAT/NMSQT

[BHS Etree]

Please do not reply to this message. If you have any questions, please
contact  Harrison Blatt harrisonblatt at berkeley.net.



Berkeley High School will not be offering the PSAT exam this year. Students
who are not able to take the PSAT exam may still participate in the
National Merit Scholar Competition. Please see the information below for
how to enter the competition if unable to take the test.



*If a Student Misses the PSAT/NMSQT Administration*


A student who does not take the PSAT/NMSQT because of illness, an
emergency, or other extenuating circumstance, but meets all other
requirements for NMSC program participation, may still be able to enter the
competition. The student or a school official must write to NMSC as soon as
possible
<https://www.nationalmerit.org/s/1758/interior.aspx?sid=1758&gid=2&pgid=465>
after
the PSAT/NMSQT administration to request information about procedures for
alternate entry to the National Merit Scholarship Program. To be
considered, a request must be postmarked *no later than April 1 following
the PSAT/NMSQT administration that was missed*. The alternate entry request
should include the name and address of the student; the contact information
of the person making the request; the name and address of the student's
high school; and a brief explanation of why the student missed the
PSAT/NMSQT.

The earlier NMSC receives the written request, the greater the student's
opportunities for meeting alternate entry requirements. Upon receiving and
processing the request, NMSC will provide alternate entry materials,
including instructions for program entry and a form that requires the
signature of a school official.
