PSAT 8/9 is on
Tuesday, October 7th, 2025 at 8am
We are allowing 7th and 8th graders to participate with the PSAT.
Why should your student take the PSAT?
- Your child will gain practice with standardized test without any pressure.
- Magnet high schools and private schools often use PSAT scores for admittance.
- It offers an opportunity to see your students’ progress relative to college preparation and over the years when they take it in 8th grade.
- Students will take the SAT in 11th grade to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship. Practice will help to improve your student’s score and understanding of the test.
Important Items to Remember:
- The cost is $15, pay through My School Bucks by Friday, September 26th.
