We look forward to seeing you next school year!

The PSAT is a practice test for SAT and NMSC scholarship qualifier for 11th grade students typically given in October for college bound Juniors and/or Sophomores in advanced classes.

The SAT/ACT are typically taken at the end of junior year and/or the beginning of senior year. Students may take these exams as many times as they would like. Colleges look at the highest score only.

The SAT and ACT are comparable tests however, students must look into their prospective college’s requirements for admission.

The ACT is an achievement test, measuring what a student has learned in school. The SAT is more of an aptitude test, testing reasoning and verbal abilities.
