Poly High School will offer the PSAT test on Saturday, October 17th. This year, all 10th grade students can take the test for FREE. All 10th grade AVID students are required to take the test unless their AVID teacher is notified in advance of a conflict by a parent/guardian. If a student has a religious conflict on that day, an alternate test date is available.
This test is also important for juniors as it is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholars Program. Additionally, it is an important practice experience to help juniors prepare for the SAT or ACT which they must take this spring for college admission. It will also get students on college mailing lists which means that they will start receiving brochures and other information from a variety of colleges across the U.S. Though the test is not free for all juniors, there are fee waivers available for students who are on free/reduced price lunch.
All Sophomores and Juniors SHOULD TAKE THIS TEST!!
