Standardized Testing

All students in 9th grade and those taking Algebra I for the first time in High School are required to take the New Jersey Student Learning Assessment in English and Math. All students in 11th grade are required to take the New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment in English and Math as well as the New Jersey Student Learning Assessment in Science. 

Advanced Placement (AP) examinations are administered in May according to the College Board Schedule. 

The PSAT/NMSQT is offered once a year in October. Saddle Brook High School in our continued efforts to improve our students’ college & career readiness, administers the PSAT/NMSQT to all sophomores and juniors. 8th and 9th graders are eligible to take the PSAT 8/9 by request. The High School runs a delayed opening schedule on test day to create a more authentic testing environment and reduce disruptions to building operations. The PSAT/NMSQT is a non-college-reported test score used as a practice test. It also qualifies juniors as National Merit Scholarship recipients. Summer enrichment programs such as Governor’s School, the New Jersey Scholar Program, and many others require PSAT results for participation.
