As we get closer to the October 17 PSAT testing date for 10th and 11th graders (optional for 9th graders), the benefits of this test have become more apparent:
• Students will get practice taking a timed test: TAKS testing was on an unlimited time basis, STAAR/EOC tests are timed
• Students and parents will receive a score report that will provide an estimate of what the student's SAT score might be
• The PSAT score report comes with an access code that translates to five different services provided for FREE by the College Board, the creator of the PSAT
• The PSAT score from the test taken in the junior year is used to determine National Merit winners. There are National Awards for Hispanic and African American students that also use these PSAT results. The benefits of these honors appear in many ways when it is time to attend college. All students should do their best on this exam. CHS honorees this year are: National Merit Commended Scholar: Tanner VandeWalle National Hispanic Recognition: David Rodriguez
Welcome to CHS Counselors' Corner! We are excited about using this format to answer questions and get information out to the community.
