PSAT INFORMATION--- OCTOBER 9TH
All Sophomores and Juniors will take the Digital PSAT on Wednesday, October 9th at Capital High School. This test helps students prepare to take the SAT College Entrance Exam, which takes place during the spring semester of their Junior year of high school. It is a required test and attendance is important, there is not a makeup for the PSAT.
Students need to arrive between 8:10-8:30 am. Testing will begin no later than 8:35 a.m. and will conclude by approximately 12:00 pm. Once testing has begun, students will not be allowed to enter the testing room and will need to report to the cafeteria. Testing room assignments will be emailed to students the week prior to the test. After testing has concluded, lunch will be served. There are no afternoon classes; teachers will hold office hours for students who need support in reassessing, work completion, etc. Buses will depart at the regularly scheduled time of 3:07 pm.
What student is required to bring to testing:
- Your school ID
- Once seated, your ID should be on your desk for the proctor to see. If you do not have one, please see the business office prior to the day of the test to purchase a replacement.
- Charged Chromebook and Charger
- A school district Chromebook is required for the test and must be fully charged. If your student does not have their device, they will not be allowed to test. No devices will be checked out on the day of testing due to limited supply.
Optional
- Approved calculator
- This is optional and must be provided by the student and cannot be shared. For a list of approved calculators, go to: approved calculators
Students can study for the PSAT by visiting the College Board website. Juniors who take the PSAT can also qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program. More information about that program can be found here. Information about the digital PSAT can be found here.
All Senior students will be staying home for a day of asynchronous learning where they can use the day to complete any missing assignments, study for upcoming tests and/or complete assigned work.
