PSAT Letter to ParentsDear 10th & 11th Grade Students & Families,
We hope the summer has been enjoyable and productive thus far. As we begin to consider ideas for the fall, please be aware of the following information. Following other changes being implemented by the College Board, the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) will be offered by digital means starting this fall. (*The SAT moves to digital testing starting in January 2024.) In an effort to ready students for the digital exam, and because taking the PSAT is a great way to prepare for the SAT college and career, Calhoun/Kennedy/Mepham High School will be offering the test on Saturday, October 14, 2023. Test results and their accompanying analysis are valuable tools that help prepare students for the SAT and educational opportunities beyond high school, so it is recommended that all juniors take advantage of this opportunity. Note also that the PSAT is the qualifying test that juniors must take to enter the National Merit Scholarship Corporation competitions for college scholarships that will be awarded during senior year. Sophomores who are enrolled in AP Seminar or English 2H and Algebra 2 or Algebra 2H are prepared for the test and urged to take the PSAT, too. The registration fee for the PSAT is $26.00 and students are responsible for registering online at: http://aptsusa.com/calhoun beginning Monday, August 21 through Wednesday, September 6. The link is also located on the school website. Students who may be eligible for a fee waiver should contact their school counselor for fee waiver codes prior to registration. More information about the PSAT will be provided during the last week of August. Any questions that exist at that time should be directed to school counselors. Sincerely, Ms. Amato |
