PSAT Day – Wednesday, October 16th

Students at white board

Students at white boardAll 10th and 11th graders will take the PSAT in the morning after checking in with 1st-period classes for attendance purposes.

The PSAT is a great practice opportunity for the SAT.  For 11th graders, the PSAT results are used for qualification purposes for National Merit Scholarship Programs.  The counseling department will distribute PSAT Student Guides to all 10th graders during a lunchtime assembly on Monday, September 30th and for 11th graders on Tuesday, October 1st.   The guides contain information about the tests as well as a full-length practice test.  Students are encouraged to take the practice test before testing day.  More information about the PSAT can be found at www.collegeboard.org/psat. Score reports will be available online in mid-December and paper copies will be available and distributed in January during lunch-time grade-level assemblies.  Juniors will be encouraged to register for an SAT or ACT date in the Spring by visiting the testing agency websites.   Sophomores and Juniors in AP classes will be reminded to register for SAT Subject tests as appropriate.

Students are reminded to bring #2 pencils and calculators for testing.  The College Board does not allow makeup testing for the PSATs so it is important that students arrive at school on time.
