PSAT 8/9 - SAT Suite of Assessments
Mr. Patterson will be connecting with students through classes later this month to present about the PSAT scores:
- What is College and Career ready?
- How to set up a Collegeboard account - here
- How to link your scores with Khan Academy for practice:
- Review answers in test booklet.
- Understand the preparation process.
A letter will then be mailed home to parents sharing Selection Criteria used toward eligibility for placement in Honors English Language Arts I in 9th grade and your child's PSAT Writing and Reading subtest scores. In addition to your child’s scores, we have reviewed his/her AP Potential relative to AP US History and AP World History for the 2018-19 school year and have indicated whether he/she met the 60% or higher cut score our district has identified for use as a part of the Selection Criteria for placement eligibility.
PSAT scores will be released December 11th.
