PSAT Preliminary SAT – Oct. 14PLAN Preliminary ACT – Oct. 30
My College Quick Start on College Board provides a personalized SAT study program based on your PSAT scores. The access code for this program is at the bottom of your PSAT score report.https://quickstart.collegeboard.org/posweb/login.jsp
Understanding your PSAT & PLAN results
Coming in March 2016Your first chance to take the new SAT is March 5.
The SAT is changing in some ways, but these things are staying the same: •It’s accepted by almost all U.S. colleges•It’s typically taken by juniors in the spring and seniors in the fall•SAT scores and high school GPA are a powerful combination. Used together, there’s nothing better at predicting potential college success
What has been changed?•All-new essay — and it’s optional•No penalty for guessing•No vocab that you’ll never use again
Facts about the New SAT:•4 parts: Reading, Writing and Language, Math, and the optional SAT Essay•400–1600 score scale•3 hours and 50 minutes with the SAT Essay — or 3 hours without it•4 answer choices (retrieved from https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat)
SAT-I is the SAT. Plan to take it in the spring of your junior year!
SAT-II is a shorter test for particular subject areas; some colleges may require these. Check your possible future college choices and plan to take them at or near the end of your junior year if at all possible.
ACT is a standardized reasoning test that evaluates students in English, math, science & social studies. For some students, it is a good alternative to the SAT. And ACT scores will convert to SAT scores! Wake County plans to pay for you to take this next year!
Remember, most colleges select your highest individual scores, even if they were scored on different test dates.
