Dear Maisy,

As discussed earlier today in your class meeting, you will be taking the PSAT on Wednesday, October 11. The Preliminary SAT (PSAT) is a standardized test administered by the College Board and co-sponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Approximately 3.5 million students take the PSAT each year. These scores are not reported to colleges and are not part of the college admissions process. The results will be available in late December/early January.

The school has already purchased the exam, so there is nothing you need to do other than show up on the day of the exam by 8:00 a.m. in the Athletic Center with 2 no. 2 pencils. You are welcome to review what is going to be on the exam by looking at the Student Guide passed out earlier today. If you did not receive one, please stop by the College Counseling Office to pick one up.

Students who have been approved for accommodations through the College Board will be emailed separate instructions as exam day approaches. Please watch for an email that will detail test location and timing information.

Students were given a booklet that contained a PSAT Student Guide and National Merit Scholarship Program and were encouraged to use the information to prepare for the PSAT.

Benefits of taking the PSAT:

1)  Great practice for the real SAT I and results can be compared to the MOCK ACT that students sat for last May identifying what standardized test may be best to officially take in winter/spring.

2) The possibility to receive National Scholarship money - http://www.nationalmerit.org/   hit on tab Scholarship Program and then hit on tab National Merit Scholarship Program.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the college counseling office.

Take care,

The College Counseling Office
