The PSAT 8/9 has been rescheduled to Wednesday, December 8th during the school day. All 8th-grade students who have registered need to attend the pre-administration session on December 7th at 11:20 a.m. and then be present at 8:00 a.m. on December 8th for the test itself. The test will be held in Ms. Stepp’s classroom located on the 8th-grade hall. The test should be completed by 12:00 p.m. for most students. Virtual students may attend in-person for those entire school days or be picked up after.
As a reminder, the PSAT 8/9 is never reported to colleges and used as a formative assessment to help students identify strengths and provide strategies to develop areas of growth.
Preparing for the test:
- DO bring your laptop and charger to school both Dec. 7th, Dec. 8th
- DO get a good night’s sleep Tuesday before the administration of the PSAT (8 -10 hours is recommended for teenagers)
- DO eat a nutritious dinner the night before and breakfast the day of the test (with protein)
- DO take time to rest and do something calming the night before (e.g. yoga, workout, play piano, watch a happy show, draw)
- DON’T bring your cellphone if you don’t need it
- DO turn your cellphone on silent and airplane mode
- DO your best and remember to breathe! You’ll do great!
