PSAT's Will Be Given on Wednesday, October 15, 2014
11th Grade
Juniors who are interested in taking the PSAT test on October 15th should register in the guidance office, first come first served, by Monday October 6th. Registration cost is $14 and it includes the test fee and pre-test practice book. Checks can be made out to Pottsgrove High School and cash is accepted.Juniors have the opportunity to practice for the SAT with this test. In December results and test materials will be returned to students. These materials along with a college board website access code allow juniors to access on-line practice tools that offer another way to prep for the big test.
This is a cost effective opportunity for our juniors to take advantage of available resources in test prep.
10th Grade
We will be administering the PSAT test to all sophomore students on Wednesday, October 15th. The test will begin at 7:30 am and run for approximately 3 hours. The PSAT is an excellent tool for preparation and practice for the SAT. Sophomores will be given practice books in their English classes. Please make sure that your child prepares with these materials prior to the test to maximize his or her results. Also, please remind your child to come prepared with number two pencils and a calculator. Students will not be permitted to use a cell phone or iPod as a calculator. Again, students in 10th grade will take the PSAT on Wednesday, October 15th.
