PSAT FOR 10TH & 11TH GRADE OCTOBER 12TH:

Who can take this test? This optional test is a national assessment for Grade 11 students and is used to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program.   Grade 10 may take it as a practice SAT test; they may not enter the National Merit scholarship competition.

When and where is the PSAT test?    Wednesday, October 12th, 8:10 – 12:30 pm at Roosevelt’s North Gym

What is the cost?   It is free for 11th grade students on free/reduced lunch.  For those 11th graders who are not on free/reduced lunch and for 10th graders, the cost is $20.  You can pay by check (to Roosevelt High School) or cash.   If you are not sure if you qualify for free/reduced lunch, staff will have a list of those who filled out the online lunch form and who qualifies for the fee waiver. If parents have not filled out the online lunch form yet, they must do so in order for their child to have the possibility to qualify for a fee waiver.  

When to sign up?    Roosevelt staff will be in the school’s front lobby on Thursday, September 29th from 7:45 - 8:30. Students can also sign up anytime after that with the counseling clerk in Room 103 up until Friday, October 7th.      

Are there ways to practice for the PSAT?  Yes, we have practice test booklets you can pick up when you sign up for the PSAT.  Also, there is PSAT test information on the internet.

What students bring to the test?     

• If you have a calculator, please bring it!  However, we will have calculators on hand.
• A water bottle and a snack for our 5 minute break time.
