On October 9, junior students will take the Digital PSAT. This will also serve as a preview of what students can expect for the SAT. Because this is a significant change in the testing experience for students and in the administration of a standardized test for the school, it is important that students and families have ready access to information about expectations and procedures.

Mr. O’Connor shared important information about the format of the exam, preparation for the exam, and expectations for the day of the test in a recorded webinar that was broadcast for students during a Collaboration. Parents/guardians of juniors are encouraged to review the recording or the slides that were used, and to confirm with their students that they have completed the required steps below.

Students need to complete the following:

• Log into your College Board account (for students who have taken an AP or SAT exam or are enrolled in an AP course this year) OR create a new College Board account following the directions on the College Board website. Please do not create a second account if you already have one. 
• Confirm that you have a test-approved device you can bring on October 9. Chromebooks are not supported. iPads may or may not be supported depending on model, OS, and peripherals like keyboard, so we suggest either bringing a different device if possible, or signing up to use a school computer.
• If you will not be able to bring a test-approved device, please fill out this School Computer Use Request form ASAP but no later than October 1st so we can plan to provide a laptop for use during the exam on that day. We are limited in the number of available devices to share with students.  Students who do not request to use a school computer prior to the due date of October 1 may not be able to test.
• Download the College Board’s Bluebook app for your testing device.
