PSAT/SAT Test Day | March 27, 2024
Wednesday, March 27 will be our All School Test Day! The exam will begin promptly at 9:30 AM and will conclude at 12:00 PM.
The Freshmen and Sophomores will take the Preliminary SAT, also known as the PSAT/NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test). This is the practice version of the SAT exam.
The Juniors will take the Virtual SAT exam. This exam is what is needed for certain college applications, that students will apply to as Seniors.
Seniors will have the school day off.
Both tests include four timed sections: Evidence-Based Reading, Writing and Language, and two Math sections (one section where a calculator can be used and one section where it cannot be used)
Students will need to bring the following:
2 or more sharpened #2 pencils (no mechanical pencils)
A pencil sharpener
Calculator
