On September 6, junior students will report to home rooms to hear a presentation about the upcoming Digital PSAT, scheduled for October 11. Mr. O’Connor and Mr. Zielke will share important information about the format of the exam, preparation for the exam, and expectations for the day of the test. Before this Collaboration period, students should do the following:

Log into your College Board account (for students who have taken an AP or SAT exam or are enrolled in an AP course this year) OR create a new College Board account following the directions on the College Board website. Please do not create a second account if you already have one. 

Confirm that you have a test-approved device they can bring on October 11. 

Chromebooks are not supported; we do not have school-managed Chromebooks.

iPads may or may not be supported depending on model, OS, and peripherals like keyboard, so we suggest either bringing a different device if possible, or signing up to use a school computer.

If you will not be able to bring a test-approved device, please fill out this School Computer Use Request form so we can plan to provide a desktop PC for use during the exam on that day. Students who do not request to use a school computer prior to testing day may not be able to test on that day.

Download the College Board’s Bluebook app for your testing device. 

Bring your fully-charged testing device to your homeroom during Collaboration on September 6.

Reach out to the Office of Academics if you have questions about any of these steps prior to September 6.

This is the first ever digital implementation of the PSAT, so we are also inviting parents to tune into the presentation, and/or review a recording of it after the fact. The Zoom webinar will begin at 8:25 am, and parents may join by clicking here. We will follow up next week with a link to the recording as well.
