PSAT Testing

PSAT for fall 2009            

                Montgomery County Public Schools will again this year use the PSAT as the 10^th grade standardized test.  All sophomores will be tested on Wednesday, October 14^th during first and second block at no cost to the parent or student.

 College bound juniors are encouraged to register to take the PSAT at the same time at a cost of $15. “It is important that 11^th grade students take the test to enter the National Merit Scholarship Corporation competitions as well as to prepare for the SAT.” (The Parent Perspective PSAT/NMSQT FAQ)

                All students who take the 2009 PSAT will receive complementary access to ScoreWrite, a download from the College Board to help prepare for the SAT essay and a code to access My College QuickStart from College Board to help find college majors and careers that match your child’s interests.  The score report from PSAT will have a section titled Improve Your Skills to provide individual performance suggestions prior to taking the SAT.

                Mrs. Stafford will be taking registration from juniors between September 14^th and 23^rd in the guidance office.
