PSAT & PLAN Test Information PPCS will be administering both the PSAT and the PLAN tests this year. 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 Thursday, October 18th from 8:30 to 11:30 at school. The PSAT will be Wednesday, October 17 from 8:30 - 11:45.
ACT & SAT Tests General Information: 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 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. You can register on-line or come by the office for a registration packet. If you register on-line you will need to include our high school code, please contact Mrs. Gardner for that number.
