The PSAT will be administered to BHS Juniors and Sophomores on Saturday, 
Oct. 18. A practice for the SAT, the PSAT gives students feedback on 
their strengths and weaknesses in areas of critical reading, 
mathematical reasoning and writing skills that are important for success 
in college.Juniors who score well may be eligible for National Merit 
Scholarships as well as other scholarship and recognition programs such 
as the National Hispanic Recognition Program.


The test fee is $25. Juniors who are eligible for free and reduced lunch 
pay $5. There is no fee reduction available for sophomores. We are 
working to provide registration online as well as on-campus. 
Registration will begin for juniors on Monday, Sept. 22. Sophomores may 
register beginning Sept. 29. All registration will end at midnight on 
Oct. 3.


Students who have had accommodations approved by College Board will 
receive those accommodations. If accommodations have not yet been 
applied for, it is unlikely that a decision will be made by the Oct. 18 
test date.The process typically takes seven weeks. More specific 
registration instructions will be sent later this week.
