这是少有的只看成绩不看经济情况的奖学金，而且也不看有无绿卡是否公民。奖金额好像有两种，一种是2500块，另一种是录取学校给，会多一点。

咱以前发过科普帖子，介绍PSAT. 登在这里，供参考： -------------------------                                   PSAT 101   What is PSAT? Preliminary SAT. The test has three sections: Math, Critical Reading, and Writing.  PSAT has the same structure and similar difficulty as SAT, but less questions in each sections. For PSAT, each section scores: 20-80, The sum of the three scores is called 'Selection Index' and the max. value: 3*80 = 240. Who takes PSAT? About 1.5 million high schooler take PSAT during October each year. Only Juniors' scores will be considered for award. How to determine award? Based on 'Selection Index' result in selection unit (50 states, three other geographic units, and a number of boarding school regions). To be Semifinalist: 'Selection Index' needs to be above 99% in selection unit. About 16,000 are selected as Semifinalist each year. For 2007 Competition: cutoff range: 204 in Mississippi to 224 in Massachusetts, with an unweighted mean of 215. To be Commended Students: 'Selection Index' needs to be above 96% nationally. For 2007 Compitition: cutoff scores: 203。 How to become Finalist? Semifinalist must complete an application. Other factors include: U.S. citizenship, or green card holder, enrolled in high school, and etc. Simply completing the application is typically enough to advance to Finalist standing, since approximately 15,000 of the 16,000 Semifinalists become Finalists. How to become 'Merit Scholarship Awards'? About 8,200 Finalists are winners of Merit Scholarship Awards in one of the following type，order by award amount:     1. College-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards Some colleges, not very prestigious schools though, will provide one-time or renewable awards (even full-ride) for Finalist if you decide to go to the school.     2. Corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards       Some companies will provide one-time or renewable award for Finalist. Most cases, only employee's kid will be eligible.     3.

奖金不多，是个荣誉。反应一个学校的质量gao, 如果进入Finalist的人多。

今年，Peachtreeridge High School 有7名学生获得National Merit Scholarship finalist。 其他高中如何呢？

PSAT以十一年級為獎學金審核的標準,如邭夂帽贿x上各州Finalist(top 1%),一般公立學校會給不錯獎學金,如U of FL給學生電腦,還免學費,至於好的私立學校,則意思意思給給,因為每年有好幾百位新生拿此獎.最好是拿自己服務公司給的獎學金,給的較多,競爭者少.可到PSAT網站查哪些公司及學校給獎學金,及多少名額.但沒列金額.

PSAT的难度和SAT比，差不多。只是比SAT短点。 从PSAT 预测 SAT分数：PSAT分数 X 10 蛮准的。

对了，PSAT的难度和SAT比，是否低点？我儿子9年纪也参加了PSAT。我以为难度会低点，但他说和SAT差不多？
