Deadline for Sign-Up: Wednesday, October 3rd.
Who: All 9th -11th graders are eligible to take the exam; however, you have a choice. The PSAT is strongly recommended for students who have a 2.5 GPA or higher and are currently in Geometry or above in math and are planning to go directly to a four year University upon graduation.

**STUDENTS MUST SHOW FEE RECEIPT TO GAIN ENTRANCE**
**BRING A PICTURE ID LIKE A DRIVER'S LICENSE OR STUDENT BODY CARD**
**ALL STUDENTS SHOULD BRING A FOUR-FUNCTION, SCIENTIFIC, OR GRAPHING CALCULATOR TO THE TEST**
**STUDENTS MUST BRING #2 PENCILS**
Preparation: Students should study the PSAT Student Bulletin very carefully. It contains test-taking tips and sample questions. There is also a PSAT preparation site on the web at www.collegeboard.com. Students should also study their tests and answer sheets from last year's test if they took it last year. It is best to review over a stretch of several days before the test, instead of just the night before.
Why Take the PSAT?

3. Enter the competition for National Merit Scholarships and other scholarship opportunities (juniors only), a very high score on the junior-year PSAT opens lots of college doors!
4. Predict SAT scores from PSAT scores
5. Get information from colleges
