PSAT Scores & Reminders

CollegeBoard has released your PSAT scores today.  Your scores are available electronically.  This means that you will log into your CollegeBoard account to view and download your scores.  (Which is what you will do in the future when you take your SAT as well.)  CollegeBoard has a BigFuture mobile app that you can use for accessing your scores or you can use their website.

If you submitted your email account when completing your answer sheet then you should have received an e-mail from CollegeBoard notifying you that your scores are accessible. Even if you didn't receive an e-mail from CollegeBoard you can still access your scores.

One of the best parts about the PSAT is that CollegeBoard has partnered with Khan Academy to use your scores to make a personalized practice plan.  This is a fantastic option and I strongly encourage you to use it.  If you have questions about this FREE option you can visit the Khan Academy website at: https://www.khanacademy.org/sat

Once you have your scores, you may be wondering what they mean.  The score sheets from PSAT provides a wealth of information so it can take some time to digest it all, but if interested, please know that the counselor website can help give you additional information, tips and links to better understand your scores.   http://www.wkhscounselors.com/

Don't forget, this is just a practice test so it is giving you an indication of where you might expect to score on your college admissions tests and you can use your results to help guide you in preparing to achieve college readiness.

A few other reminders:

Keeping with the testing theme, remember that tomorrow is the last day to register for the PreACT on November 7th.  Cost is $15 and is payable through the MyPaymentsPlus system and you need to pay along with sign up on the google form that is linked on the WKHS Counselor website.

And then sophomores, don't forget that the deadline to participate in the field trip to the Delaware Area Career Center which includes completing the google registration form and returning the signed field trip permission slip to the counseling center is also tomorrow (Friday, October 25th).  You must do both steps by the end of the day tomorrow to participate in the DACC field trip next month.
