PSAT

PSAT Test Date: Wednesday, October 11, 2017
Cost: $16 (checks payable to WKHS)

The PSAT is the practice test for the SAT. This is a great opportunity for students to begin to assess their progress toward college and career readiness standards.  WKHS will be operating on a late-start schedule to assure that students are able to take the test without the concern about missing what is happening in their classes.  The test is mandatory and will be provided to all freshmen and sophomore students free of charge.


Juniors are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to take the test!  This is an important practice test for the SAT and it is also the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship competition. Even though you took the test in past years you should re-take the test as a Junior to try to open you up for scholarship opportunities!  Juniors should register in the Counseling Center by bringing in a check for $16 made out to WKHS. (Exact cash is also an option for registering for the test.)

The deadline for juniors to register for the PSAT is October 6th.

Also, for students interested in practicing/ preparing for the PSAT, CollegeBoard and the KHAN Academy are offering free supplemental practice tests to prepare for the PSAT.  Information can be obtained at: https://www.khanacademy.org/sat and https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt-psat-10/practice
