PSAT/NMSQT
Students outside the U.S.
Over 52,850 students took the PSAT/NMSQT internationally in 2006. Of these, 7,732 were American students studying abroad, while 45,318 were foreign nationals.
Students outside the U.S., whether American citizens or other nationalities, must make arrangements with a local school to register for and take the PSAT/NMSQT. The PSAT/NMSQT Coordinator at that school will help the student:
- Sign up for the test,
- Pay the $13 test fee
- Receive the Official Student Guide to the PSAT/NMSQT, which includes a full-length practice test.
United States students temporarily out of the country will need to provide the following information on the PSAT/NMSQT answer sheet:
- Code number of their U.S. school in section 6a
- Name and address of their U.S. school in section 6b
- Name and address of the school where they are taking the test in section 6c
Score reports will be mailed to each student's U.S. high school. Students still out of the country when the test scores are released in late November should ask their principal or counselor to forward the score report to them.
