• PSAT/NMSQT

    Saturday, October 14th, 2023

    ** Registration is closed **

     

    The PSAT will be held for 10th / 11th CB West students on Saturday, October 14th, 2023. Testers should be in their exam room by 7:45am and arrange for pick-up after 10:30am. Testers must bring a charged laptop with the Bluebook app already installed.

     

     

    • Practice exams and previews are available on the Bluebook app: https://bluebook.collegeboard.org/students/practice. Students can use this to become familiar with the software and exam prior to test day. They will not need an access code, but should instead create/login to their CollegeBoard account to access practice resources. 

     

    • This link provides an overview of what to expect on test day: https://bluebook.collegeboard.org/students/psat. We are not holding a “digital readiness check” in school prior to test day; this step will be completed the morning of the exam. Please be sure your student reads “What to Bring on Test Day,” and fully charge their laptop the night before the exam!

     

    • Students should plan to be in their assigned rooms by 7:45am on the morning of the exam, and plan for pickup after 10:30am. Room assignments will be posted outside of the Student Services Office the week prior to test day (a reminder email was sent on Oct. 9th). Students must bring their charged laptops to the exam!

    College Entrance Exams (SAT/ACT) 

     

    • During 10th grade, students should plan on taking the PSAT in October as practice for the SAT and the PreACT in March as practice for the ACT. 

     

    • During 11th grade, students should take the PSAT in October and then either the SAT or ACT after they have completed Algebra 2. This will ensure they have learned the Math content that will be in these exams. Students should take same exam twice (SAT twice or ACT twice) to have an opportunity to get the highest set of scores possible.    

     

    • Students will need to create their own accounts for the SAT and/or the ACT. Students must save their login information (username and password) for these accounts.  No one at CB West will have access to these student accounts, and students will need to access these accounts frequently in order to register for future tests, check scores, and send scores to colleges.

     

    • When creating accounts and registering for the SAT/ACT, students should use a personal email account (Gmail, Yahoo, Bing, etc.), and NOT their CBSD school email account. You may need access to these accounts after you graduate, when your CB email will be deactivated.  You will get important information and notifications about your tests sent to this email address, so it should be one that you check frequently.  This should not be a parent email address.  

     

    • Students must enter the CB West CEEB Code: 391-045 during online registration for the SAT and ACT in order to have their scores sent to CB West.
