PSAT Reminders
October 13, 2016
As many of you know, on Oct. 19, sophomores and juniors will partake in the PSAT.
The PSAT is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program for students in the 11th grade. It is also a tool that helps students become familiar with the SAT exam and its format. The PSAT will help identify academic areas that need improvement and help identify appropriate test-taking strategies.
Centennial High School will provide calculators on test day to 11th graders only. 10th grade students are encouraged to bring a scientific or graphing calculator. However, math problems can be solved without the use of a calculator.
Students will be asked for some personal questions such as:
- Academic subjects taken or planned for this year
- Grade Average – Can give estimate
- College Major – whatever most interests them
- Highest level of education of your parent/guardian
