PSAT

PSAT Day - Tuesday, October 6, 2026

Little Elm ISD automatically registers all 10th and 11th grade students to take the PSAT/NMSQT, free of charge, and all 9th graders are automatically registered for the PSAT 8/9. The PSAT allows students to pinpoint their academic strengths and areas for improvement, while also serving as preparation for college entrance exams such as the SAT. Additionally, the PSAT/NMSQT acts as the qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship Program for 11th-grade students, and for the National Recognition Programs for students in both 10th and 11th grade. Students can use the Bluebook app on their school-issued Chromebooks to practice and prepare for the PSAT.

9th, 10th, and 11th Grades:

  • The PSAT/NMSQT and the PSAT 8/9 will be given during the regular school day

  • Testing will begin at 7:15 am and students who arrive late will not be able to test

  • Please avoid scheduling appointments for your student on this day as there will not be a make-up day for the PSAT.

  • Students should bring a pencil. Snacks and drinks may only be consumed during the official 10-minute break between sections of the test.

Homeschool Students:

In accordance with TEC Sec. 29.916, Little Elm ISD will administer the PSAT/NMSQT to homeschool students who live within the LEISD attendance boundaries. Please fill out the PSAT Registration for Homeschool Students form by September 11, 2026.
