Although the best preparation for the PSAT/NMSQT is long term—such as taking solid academic courses and reading widely—students will perform better on the test if they know what to expect on test day.   This is one reason why in C-FB ISD we administer the test to all sophomores and juniors as well as ninth graders in the ACE/LEAP program.

The top 100 sophomore scores are recognized in April at the Superintendent Scholar Night.

Juniors can qualify as National Merit Scholars & Merit Scholarship Awards based on their PSAT scores.
