Events and Learning Opportunities
PSAT: Are You on the College/Career Pathway?
This is a “pre- SAT” test. This test will expose students to the math and reading they will be doing in high school and college.
Why do we give to all 8th grade students?
All 8th graders take PSAT so that students can know where they are on the college and career pathway and use their scores to help determine their course selection.
As a parent and student, what is my checklist for PSAT?
- Before the test, students can see a couple of PSAT Math and English questions on Khan Academy and practice in Bluebook, so they know what to expect.
- On test day (October 9th or 10th), get plenty of sleep the night before, eat a good breakfast, and try your best.
- After the test, your scores will become available in early November. Look up your score report and see what you did well on and what you may need to improve on.
