Northside 10th and 11th graders will be given the option to take the College Board Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test, or PSAT, on Wednesday, October 9th.

Registration is available at http://nisd.net/clark (under Announcements) through September 11.

All 11th grade students will be able to participate at no cost since results are connected to scholarship opportunities. 10th grade students who choose to participate are also required to register in advance and must pay a $20 testing fee. There is a reduced fee of $10 for students who receive free or reduced lunch.

If you are a sophomore and thinking you might take Dual Credit next year, you should register for the PSAT. Doing well on the PSAT can exempt you from taking the TSI test for Dual Credit eligibility. If you have questions about Dual Credit, please visit our Dual Credit Website or email dlayne.kelly@nisd.net.

Don’t wait! Register now for this opportunity!
