As mentioned previously, I will break the sequence of topics as more timely issues arise. Most High school juniors interested in college will have taken the PSAT/NMSQT today or will take it this Saturday, October 13. Test takers can expect to receive their individual results and actual test booklets in mid-December. While this "gift" may not have been on any holiday wish lists, it is an invaluable tool in helping a student prepare for its successor, the SAT. The student receives a report that shows which specific questions were answered correctly or incorrectly, the content area each question was meant to assess and its difficulty level. The student can also use the access code on the score report to register to use the MyRoad program on the collegeboard.com site. There are many features on this site that can be used without registering but, with it, one can customize an individual program and gain access to:
-take a personality assessment
-explore a list of suggested careers and majors that fit the student's personality, and
-explore colleges and majors and more.
This service is free for those who took the PSAT. As mentioned in a previous blog, paid subscriptions area also available for those who did not take the test.
I'm not going to post on Wednesday, October 20 but will return on October 27 with the next blog, "Sophomoric Year".
