ACT Prep Workshop (for October test date) starts this weekend

 

PSAT on Wednesday, October 18

The PSAT exam will be given on Wednesday, October 18 from 8:00 – 11:30 a.m., at Marshall County High School.  The PSAT is only given one time a year.  As juniors, students take it to practice for the SAT, to enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation or for merit based scholarships offered by their parent’s employer (if applicable).  Students take the PSAT as 10th graders to practice and can also qualify for national recognition programs. 

National Merit Scholarship Corporation: This scholarship competition awards approximately 8,200 scholarships annually. The selection process starts with the choosing of National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists and Commended Scholars. Cutoffs vary from state to state but typically Semi-Finalists score in the top one percent of students in their state and Commended Scholars between the top one to four percent.  Most of the approximately 16,000 Semi-Finalists become Finalists, and half of those ultimately receive National Merit Scholarships.

The cost of the PSAT is $20 and is available to current students at MCHS.  This year, the PSAT will be online, so students must be prepared to bring their school-issued chromebooks.

Students may register with Mrs. Jackson before school, during class changes, at lunch, and after school.  Sign-ups will begin on Monday, September 11 with the deadline for registering set for Friday, September 15 at 3:15 pm.  Payment must be made at the time of registration in the form of cash or check.  Checks are to be made payable to MCHS.
