PSAT for 8th Graders

The PSAT 8/9 tests the same skills and knowledge as the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, and PSAT 10—in a way that makes sense for eighth and ninth graders. It measures what they’re already learning, shows them whether they’re on track for college, and lets them know where they need the most improvement. That means students have time to tackle these areas long before they take the SAT.

We, at Salina Intermediate like to get a head start on many things, the PSAT is one. Salina Intermediate 8th graders will take the PSAT on April 14th. We ask that your child work on fluency and speed with their reading because timing is a big part of this test. We know our 8th graders will be highly prepared on April 14th.
