Parents and Guardians, Please mark your calendars: it is critical for all 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students to be in attendance on this testing day. We kindly request to consider NOT checking your child out of school for any reason during that day so they can complete the entire test. There are NO MAKE UP SESSIONS for the PSAT. So, if they do not finish their test in one setting, they will not receive a score. It is also an early release day, so students will be dismissed at 12:30PM.

PREPARING FOR THE PSAT

Please ensure that your child has a good night of rest and a healthy breakfast. We will send PSAT study guides (free of charge) home on Monday, September 24 so students can get familiar with test procedures, test-taking advice, and complete a practice exam.

Why is it important for my child to

take and do well on the PSAT?

It helps students navigate their path through high school toward college and career, and offers a range of unique benefits to students.

The National Merit Scholarship Program uses PSAT/NMSQT scores to identify candidates. And scholarships offered by new College Board partners use information from the PSAT/NMSQT to expand access to scholarship dollars.

Students who take PSAT will have access to video lessons and will receive personalized SAT study resources based on their test results. Their Khan Academy® practice experience is tailored to meet individual student needs.

Using results from the redesigned PSAT/NMSQT, AP PotentialTM helps schools identify students likely to succeed in certain AP courses and AP Exams. These students are also notified of their potential directly.

PSAT test fees for 9th and 11th graders are paid by Fulton County school system. PSAT test fees for 10th graders are paid by Georgia Department of Education. PSAT is critical for college and career readiness.

Upon entry into 9th grade parents/guardians of students must provide two proofs of residence from the school system's approved list of verifiable residence documents.

Approved documents for verification are:

One current Water, Electric bill

AND one residence document from the list below:

Copy of home mortgage bill Current bank statement

Valid Driver's License/ State ID Current paycheck

Copy of home sale contract Current HOA bill

Section Eight/HUD housing document Current apartment/house lease

Homeowner's/Renter's insurance registration card

Both documents must contain parent or guardian's name and current address.
