PSAT
At Lee HS
PSAT will be administered to all 9th, 10th, and 11th
graders on Wednesday, October 10, 2018. Ninth grade students will take the PSAT
8/9, which is specifically designed for eighth and ninth graders. Tenth and
eleventh grade students will take the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). FCPS will provide the PSAT 8/9 to ninth graders
and the PSAT/NMSQT to tenth graders without cost. The cost of the test for
eleventh grade students will be covered by our school.
Tenth and eleventh grade students with disabilities documented in a
504 plan or an Individualized Education Program (IEP) may request
accommodations for the PSAT/NMSQT. Accommodations must be approved by the
College Board and documentation must meet the criteria outlined on their
website, https://www.collegeboard.org/students-with-disabilities/eligibility.
Not all students with disabilities require accommodations and some
accommodations received by students in school are not deemed necessary by the
College Board for the purposes of participating in the PSAT. Accommodation requests must be
completed and received by College Board by August 21, 2018. Each
high school has a designated staff member to assist with requests for
accommodations. Please contact our SSD coordinator, Kira Bertheussen at klbertheusse@fcps.edu to begin the
accommodation request process.
For ninth grade students taking the PSAT 8/9, students are encouraged to
test without accommodations to determine a baseline before applying for
accommodations on the standard PSAT. Feel free to contact Ms. Bertheussen
if you have any question about the accommodations.
Students may prepare for the PSAT
by visiting www.collegeboard.com, getting a good night’s sleep
prior to the test, and eating breakfast the morning of the test. I encourage
you to discuss the testing with your student. If you have any question about
PSAT testing, please contact our assessment coach, Mrs. Kj Sachdeva at ksachdeva@fcps.edu
Best wishes to you and your
student.
