THE WHY???
Since this test is NEW, there are a lot of reasons WHY our 10th and 11th grade students should be taking this test:
PERK #1:
11th grade students who do really well could qualify for a National Merit Scholarship.
PERK #2
The NEW SAT will be somewhat similar to the ACT. Students will not be penalized for guessing and there will be questions related to common core curriculum.
PERK #3
Students who take the PSAT will be offered a FREE, personalized online prep SAT class (through Khan Academy) based on their PSAT results. It will focus on areas where students need improvement.
PERK #4
Based on the PSAT results we (the school) will receive a list of students who have AP Potential in various subjects. This information could help us greatly when working on student placement.
