PSAT & PLAN Test Information

PPCS will be administering both the PSAT and the PLAN tests.  The PLAN test is for sophomores and is the practice test for the ACT.  The PSAT /NMSQT is the practice test for the SAT and is for sophomores and juniors.  I would encourage all juniors to take this test.  It is a good warm up for the SAT and could also put you in the running for the National Merit Scholarship.

The PLAN will be administered to all freshman and sophomores on Tuesday October 12 from 8:30 to 11:30 at school.

The PSAT will be Wednesday, October 13 from 8:30 - 11:45.

ACT & SAT Tests

General Information:
These tests can be taken as many times as you would like between the sophomore and senior years.

It is recommended they be taken after the first semester of your junior year and before the end of the first semester of your senior year.

If you take the ACT more than once, you can request the specific test date scores you would like to be sent to the college(s) of your choice.
The scores for the ACT range from 1 - 36 for each test (English, Math, Reading, & Science).  The average 2009 National scores for the ACT are English 20.6, Math 21.0, Reading 21.4, Science 20.9, and the average composite score is 21.1.

If you take the SAT more than once, each set of scores will be sent to the college(s) of your choice.  The college you are applying to will look at the highest.
The scores for the SAT range from 200 - 800 for each test (Critical Reading, Math, and Writing).  National average scores for 2009 college bound seniors are Critical Reading 501, Math 515, and Writing 493.

You can register on-line and you will need to include our high school code, 060254. 
I have practice tests available in the office for both the ACT and SAT.
