On Wednesday, October 10th, sophomores and juniors will take the PSAT at Stuyvesant.
No student needs to register. All sophomores and juniors may take the test free of charge due to the donation by a gracious gift of a single alumni donation.
For a handful of top-scoring juniors, this exam can be a game-changer that qualifies them to become National Merit Scholars. For sophomores, it gives an accurate prediction of how they would score on the slightly longer (but almost identical) SAT. Learn about what the PSAT is directly from the College Board website HERE and sign up for notifications.
Doors at Stuy will open at 7:30am. All 10th and 11th graders should be in their homerooms for the test to begin at 8am. Students will not be permitted to enter late for the exam. The school day should begin at 12:14pm with a 1-10 period abbreviated schedule. Students should bring a snack or two that they can eat on breaks or in classes after the test.
