From the counselor, Ms. Harmon:
THE PSAT / NMSQT IS COMING!
Tenth and eleventh graders know those letters, because this is the test for them! It stands for Preliminary SAT / National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, and it is happening here at Center next Wednesday, October 12th.
Funded by the Seattle Public Schools Advanced Learning Office, this assessment helps create a college-prep culture in the school, covers the same topics under the same test conditions as the SAT, and for 11th graders is the qualifying test for National Merit Scholarships.
All Center School 10th and 11th graders will take the test.
The “Official Student Guide” to the PSAT (containing a practice test) has been distributed to all students. The test measures critical reading, math and writing skills developed over many years, both in and out of school - so there’s really nothing to study for! Students should come to school next Wednesday with a good night’s sleep - and eat breakfast!
Testing will take place in Seattle Center’s Rainier & Olympic Rooms, located at the NW corner of Seattle Center at 1st Ave. North & Republican (right next to the main entrance to Key Arena).
10th and 11th graders should arrive between 8:00 – 8:15am and go DIRECTLY to the Rooms – do NOT go to Center School first.
The first test section begins promptly at 8:30am, and the last section finishes at 11:30am.
Students should bring Center Student ID card with them, as they need their student # to take the test. No other materials are needed.
