PSAT

This fall sophomores will be taking the PSAT test. This is a 4-hour, timed test given to sophomores and juniors. This test is a good college-readiness indicator, and also gives you a "sneak-peak" at what the SAT test is like. The SAT test is taken by juniors and seniors around the United States. It is one of the tests that colleges look at when you apply. It's kind of a big deal.
