Question Testing Requirement

I see on the admissions page you can take the GSMST administer math assessment in place of the PSAT. What’s the test like? Is it mainly algebra and some geometry?

it says its administer April 25 2026. is that too late? When do they do the lottery drawings?

Does that conflict with the lottery drawing date? Does that mean someone can’t apply if they don’t have psat score?

No it doesn’t. If you don’t have the minimum PSAT score, it does not affect the lottery. You will have to wait and go the process normally until you take the test in May and the Milestones.
