PSAT 10

Any interested sophomore is invited and encouraged to take the PSAT 10 this spring at York Catholic.  The PSAT 10 is an optional exam that mirrors the PSAT, and offers a tenth grader the opportunity to preview and practice for the actual PSAT without stress over score reporting.  Scores from the PSAT 10 are not reported and do not impact college applications in any way.  Students benefit from the opportunity to engage with the material and become familiar with the format of the test before taking the PSAT in October of their junior year.   PSAT test scores do count; those scores are referenced to determine Merit Scholars, and free practice tests are available online through College Board.  Features of the PSAT 10 are as follows:

• The PSAT 10 is a three-hour exam, featuring a math section and a reading/writing section.  
• Each section is worth 760 points for a possible total composite of 1520.  
• The math section targets algebra and advanced math problems. A spring testing session is optimal as sophomores will be concluding a year of Algebra II.

The test will be offered at York Catholic from 8 AM-12 PM on Saturday, April 12.

Any sophomore interested in taking the PSAT 10 must register online at familyid.com by February 21. Cost per student is $20. The registration fee is non-refundable.
