Last month, sophomores and juniors received hard copies of their PSAT scores along with original test booklets. They have been able to access scores online since December, but the score report gives the counselors the opportunity to explain the scores to them. The scores are pretty easy to understand, but below you will find a couple of helpful resources.

We strongly encourage students to log on to their College Board accounts because along with seeing scores, thee is an abundance of free resources they can access. One of the resources we are always talking about is Khan Academy. When a student links his or her College Board account with Khan Academy, a personalized practice test is created! The video below provides a quick explanation on how to do it!
Juniors should be preparing to to take the SAT this spring in either May or June. Click here to view the calendar. Also, using the PSAT results and free online resources is a great way work on areas of weakness. They can take a practice test or download an app to answer a question a day. Sophomores, it is never too early start preparing!
One final note – The Guidance Department is hosting it’s College Planning Night for juniors and their parents on Thursday, March 2nd. It will be at 6:30 in the auditorium. This is a great opportunity for juniors to hear about what they should be doing now and into the summer to prepare for the college application process. We hope to see you all there!
