As of today, there are 60 freshmen who have registered for the PSAT. This represents only 25% of the total freshman population! Parents and students- you guys really need to take this test. It is a preview of the SAT. The more times a student sees the SAT format, the better that student will be at taking this test. Also, you and your student will receive valuable pointers on specific ways that your performance on the SAT can improve. Since just about everything that your student is going to want to do after he or she graduates will require an SAT or ACT, it makes sense for your student to take the PSAT and the PLAN, which is the same practice test, but it is for the ACT. Each test is $15. By taking both, a student will be able to compare each score to see which test he or she is better at. They are very different tests... The PSAT will be given on October 13th and the PLAN will be given on November 11th.
Today is the last day to register for the PSAT and PLAN, but because of lower than expected participation, we will be taking checks (there is no form to fill out) through out next week during Titan Time only.
On October 13th, freshmen who are not registered for the PSAT will be receiving Georgia High School Graduation Test instruction, which is really going to be beneficial for students who have historically struggled on school-based standardized tests. If that does not apply to your student, please make sure that he or she is registered for the PSAT and PLAN!
