Trustees of the College Board voted unanimously Thursday to continue to use the PSAT as the qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship Program, despite criticism that using the practice test for the SAT to pick winners is unfair.

According to a statement issued by the nonprofit College Board, the trustees made their decision after hearing a report from a subcommittee studying aspects of the test.

The College Board co-sponsors the scholarship program with the National Merit Scholarship Corp.
