HLA offers the PSAT/NMSQT each October. It is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship for juniors, but is recommended as a practice test for either the ACT or the SAT for any 9th – 11th grade student.

Annual Standardized Testing Requirements for High School Students:
HLA does not require standardized testing for grades Kindergarten-12th. Families living in TN, FL and CO who are registered with HLA will not be required to test. Families living in other states will need to check the laws in their state. If you are unsure of the laws in your state please visit HSLDA.org for this information. If you would like to have your child tested, you will need to contact a local support group for information about any testing that may be offered in your area. For information about testing your own child, you can check with BJU Press or Seton for options.
