PSAT Information

9/30/2025

Tim Jones, Head of Upper School

We will be administering the Digital PSAT on October 8th. This is a digital administration and comes with a built-in calculator. For Juniors, the PSAT will serve as a qualifier for the National Merit Scholarship Program, and serves as practice for 10th and 9th. The 9th grade test is different from the test that the 10th and 11th graders will take.

On test day, all students should bring their test device and external mouse or keyboard (if desired) and a pencil or a pen for making notes. Students are also allowed to bring a charging cord or power bank, snacks and a drink, and hand sanitizer. These additional items should be stored under the student's desk or in their backpack.

The following items are not allowed during the test or breaks.

Mobile phones, smartwatches or electronic devices other than the testing device
Watches that beep, make a noise, or have an alarm
External Keyboard, if using a laptop
Stylus
Separate Computer monitor
Privacy Screen not permanently fixed to the device
Books, notebooks, keyboard maps, or references of any kind
Scratch paper not provided by the proctor
Sticky notes, papers with login and/or password information must be collected before sign in ticket is issued
Headphones, earbuds, or earplugs
Any camera or recording device
Separate timer
Another testing device

We will plan to begin test administration at 9:00 a.m. for all testers. Students will be dismissed for the day at the conclusion of their exam. Additionally, 12th graders will not have school that day which provides a great opportunity to work exclusively on College Applications.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Timothy A. Jones, M.Ed.

Head of Upper School
