We would like to congratulate the 19 students who stayed two and a half hours late on Friday afternoon to test their skills on the practice PSAT:
Charlie Bachmann
Mary Boulton
Alexandra Brennan
Patrick Coffman
Anthony DiProperzio
Kayleigh Fonseca
Nicholas Hanley
Krishna Magalona
Joseph Margand
Grace McNamara
Rocco Palumbo
Erica Pereira
Emily Petrillo
Jack Petrillo
Shannon Primavera
Charles Rex
Benjamin Rodriguez
Janna Rosenthal
Roger Wright
What did we accomplish? Whether our students are honing their skills or sizing up the exam for the first time, all benefit from assessing the procedures and questions in each of the five sections and from exploring some of the strategies needed to answer all the questions within a limited time frame. This practice is a "psyche-up," not a "psyche-out," for the official PSAT as well as the SAT!
In order to measure their progress on future exams, I have asked each of the students to calculate his or her score, as described on the final pages of the exam booklet, and to tell me what that score is. I, in
turn, will calculate collective and class averages for verbal, math, and writing. Please encourage your son or daughter to follow through and assure them that their practice scores will not be disclosed. If there are any questions, I can help.
Thank you one and all for cooperating in this important endeavor.
