SAT and PSATs
Dear Juniors & Families,
On Wednesday October 12, THS will provide Juniors with a no-cost opportunity to take the PSAT. The PSAT is essentially a "practice SAT" and is also the qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship program. More information about the test can be found here:
Who should take the PSAT?
Students who intend to apply to competitive 4-year colleges should consider taking the test. Most colleges have implemented "test-optional" admissions policies, so standardized test scores are far less important in college admissions than they were even a few years ago. However, some schools do still require test scores and others use them as criteria to qualify for merit-based scholarships. Students who plan to enter the military, pursue a trade, or enroll in technical school or community college do not need to take this test. If you are unsure whether you/your student should take the test, you may contact your Guidance Counselor or myself to discuss your individual situation. Students who opt not to test will have a regular school day and will still be eligible to take the school-day SAT (also offered at no charge) in April.
We kindly ask that all students/families interested in taking the PSAT on October 12 complete this brief form no later than Monday, September 13:
