The PSAT will be given to all 10th and 11th graders on Wednesday, October 15.
The PSAT is the qualifing test for the National Merit Scholarship. The 10th graders will be taking the test, but cannot qualify for the National Merit Scholarship until they are 11th graders.
Mrs. Stevens will be going into 10th and 11th grade classes on Tuesday, Sept. 16 and Thursday, Sept. 18, to give the students information on the PSAT. Students should take the information, which includes a practice PSAT test, home and use the material to study for the tests.
Parents, please ask your student to show you the important dates for 10th and 11th graders. Please encourage your student to practice the PSAT test and to read the information booklet. Examples of all test questions and tips on taking the PSAT are in the preparation booklet. Also, notice the list of sponsors in the PSAT booklet. If you work for any of these sponsors, they may have scholarships for your student.
The PSAT is like the SAT, so we are working on taking the SAT for college when we practice the PSAT.
