There are 16,000 semifinalists across the country. From these, 15,000 will advance to National Merit Finalists and will be notified in February.
The National Merit organization emphasizes each year that these student honors recognize the excellence of individual students, not the quality or effectiveness of a school’s education system.
The PSAT/NMSQT for this upcoming year, which is for the graduating class of 2024, will be offered on: Wednesday, Oct. 12 and Saturday, Oct. 15. An alternative date is Tuesday, Oct. 25.
