Sophomore and Junior PSAT Testing (8:45 AM – 11:30 PM)

The Preliminary SAT (PSAT) is essentially a practice for the SAT exam. Based on their performance, Juniors who take the PSAT may become eligible to enter the National Merit Scholarship competition. All sophomores and juniors are required to attend PSAT testing on campus and are already registered for the exam. All students must  review the following information carefully:

What to Know About the Digital PSAT Exam

• • Students must be familiar with the information and policies contained in the College Board PSAT Student Guide 
  • All students must be familiar with the Bluebook Testing app on their iPads and should have the most updated version before the exam. Updates should occur automatically on student iPads.
  • On test day, students log in to Bluebook on their iPads and complete a short check-in process. After brief instructions from the proctor, students are given a start code. The test begins once a student enters the start code in Bluebook. Students must keep their iPads open at all times during the test until answers are submitted and the proctor has checked them out.
