PSAT
Registration Last year, all 10th
graders took the PSAT Exam for free.
This was a preliminary version of the SAT Exam, which students
take at least once or twice over their 11th and 12th
grade school years for entrance into a 4-year college or university. This year, students planning to attend
a 4-year college or university should plan to take the PSAT again. Students in the 11th grade
take the exam to be eligible for the National Merit Scholarship. This prestigious scholarship recognizes
the top students in the nation.
Students are notified of this honor at the beginning of their
senior year. This year, the PSAT
Exam will be given the morning of October 14th. The test costs $13 and cash or checks (made
payable to North Dorchester High School) need to be turned in to Mrs.
Truitt NO LATER THAN September 25th.
The PSAT Exam measures critical reading, mathematical
problem-solving, and writing skills.
ALL 10TH GRADERS WILL TEST FOR FREE!!!! Preparation
is Key It is
hard to believe that high school is half way over for my students. This year we will begin preparing for
life after high school. It is my
goal to meet individually with each student at least once to better
understand the path they wish to follow after high school. Below is a recommended list for this
year for students planning to go to a 4-year college after high
school. Students
going to a 4-year college/university: * Take the PSAT * Take the SAT (twice before Fall of
senior year if possible) * Visit www.collegeboard.com for SAT support and
college selection search * Visit www.bridges.com for college selection search * Meet with Mrs. Truitt to discuss your
list of colleges/future plans * Contact the Admission Office and
schedule a tour of the colleges that interest you * Travel with NDHS on college visits to
tour a college campus and experience
college
life * Continue to work hard to raise your
GPA * Get
involved in clubs, sports, and organizations to gain experiences |
