Ideally, this check should be completed before test day – Wednesday, October 11. If this is not possible, students should arrive to their testing location 10 minutes early on PSAT day so they can complete this exam set-up. Students who have a broken or lost Chromebook should see Mr. Colucci to get a loaner before October 11th. Loaner Chromebooks will not be available on test day.
