Eighth Grade Parents and Guardians,
On Wednesday, April 12, 2023, your 8th Grader will take the PSAT, a test to indicate preparedness for high school, and later for college and career.
The PSAT 8 is the first test in the SAT Suite of Assessments. It sets a readiness baseline, allowing students and teachers to pinpoint areas for focused practice as students progress through high school.
