Review this slide deck to complete the PSAT 8/9 pre-testing activities.
Once you have tested your device requirements, completed exam setup, and spent some time exploring test preview, the digital readiness check is complete.

**On both 10/11 and 10/21 freshman will be expected to bring either a district issued Chromebook (recommended) or personal device. Please note, the PSAT 9 is entirely digital.

If students plan on using district issued Chromebook, the application was already downloaded on the device therefore no further action is required.

Please note, if students plan on using a personal device on the day of testing for the PSAT/NMSQT, they will need to download the “Bluebook” testing app. They can run the Bluebook testing app on a Windows or Mac device. They cannot run Bluebook on a mobile phone or a personal chromebook.
