PSAT/SAT School Day
On Wednesday, Oct. 13, the SAT School Day exam, a College Board assessment, is being administered at no cost to ALL 12th grade students enrolled in NISD this school year.
On Wednesday, Oct. 13, the PSAT/NMSQT exam, a College Board assessment, will also be administered at no cost to all 10th and 11th grade students enrolled in NISD this school year. In addition, Health Careers administers this test to 9th grade students. The PSAT/NMSQT exam is the route of entry to the National Merit Scholarship Program for 11th grade students.
Students should expect to finish with all testing around 1:15 PM. All students will be escorted to the cafeteria to pick up a free sack lunch that will be taken back to the classroom to eat. After lunch, we will follow a schedule to attend each one of our B day classes for approximately 30 minutes each. Students are not expected to bring backpacks to school that day.
Be on the lookout for an email with your room assignment. Testing rooms will also be posted in the foyer.
AP Exams
While the exam may be optional, the benefits make it worth a try. Research shows students who take AP courses and exams have better college outcomes than their peers. Even if they don’t earn scores that qualify them for credit or placement, students who achieve AP Exam scores of 2:
• Are still more likely to attend college and graduate on time (than academically similar students who don’t take AP). • Do significantly better in introductory college classes (compared to academically similar students who don’t take that corresponding AP Exam). • Often earn a higher score on the subsequent AP Exams they take.
