PSAT Student Guides
Sophomores received PSAT 10 student guides during first period classes this week in preparation for testing. Students will be asked on test day to indicate the college major that best matches their current interests. Identifying this code prior to next Tuesday (College Major Codes, pg 6-9), will save students a significant amount of time on test day.
Additionally, a full practice test with answers is included in the middle of the student guide. This insert provides a practice opportunity for students interested in preparing for the PSAT 10 and ultimately the SAT.
PSAT 9 student guides with practice test questions are available online but were not provided in print this year for freshman students.
