PSAT Information – 10/15

On Wednesday, October 15th Da Vinci Design’s 10th and 11th grade students will take the Preliminary SAT exam. The exam will take place in the morning, during school hours. To prepare for the exam, students will be given study guides and they can also find free test prep through their Naviance accounts.

By taking the PSAT, students may qualify to enter competitions for prestigious scholarships and participate in recognition programs. Please visit the following link for more details: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/psat/about/scholarships.html Scholarships are only available for 11th grade students as part of the NMSQT, National Achievement or National Hispanic Scholars programs. For 10th grade students, it is ONLY a practice exam and the scores will not be officially recorded anywhere via the College Board.

Da Vinci asks that all students pay $14 to take the PSAT (unless they are 11th graders who qualify for free and reduced lunch). They can do so by visiting this link http://davincischools.org/collegepsat.shtml or by paying Maria Beltran in the front office.
