There will be raffles and split the pot as well. And best of all...A LOT OF FUN!

SAT School Day Testing - April 13, 2022
On April 13 all 9-11 grade students will participate in either the PSAT 9, PSAT 10 or SAT (juniors) assessment. This assessment is required by the state of Illinois for students in public education. In order for students to receive a high school diploma they must have taken the SAT either their junior or senior year. Seniors that took the SAT last year will be excused from attendance on this day.
WANT PRACTICE?
Link your College Board and Khan Academy accounts for more individualized SAT Prep. Khan Academy is a FREE tool with full-length practice exams, and immediate score feedback.
STRATEGIES TO CONSIDER:
1. Balance & Pace: Study consistently rather than cramming.
2. Timing: Attempt to time yourself in your practices to ensure you get a good rhythm/pace.
3. Prepare for success, but don't stress. The SAT School Day is a school based opportunity to take the exam. You can retake the SAT later if you wish. If you have concerns, please reach out to your counselors.
