Monday, 9/12: PSAT

1. Review your notes on Antigone and the Bible passages.

2. The PSAT

The PSAT is coming on October 12th. We might as well take a look at it this week, lest you lose your precious booklet without having looked it over.

Note that the ACT (American College Testing) and SAT are different tests. The "A" in ACT is achievement (Do you remember what you've studied? Have you been a faithful student?) . The "A" in the SAT is aptitude (What can you infer from what you already know? How can you use what you already know to answer something you haven't seen before?).

Note that the test will not be used against you in the future in any way.

Note that there are scholarship opportunities for those who score in the top brackets, nationally.

Note that the SAT is a test for juniors, so there will be things you don't know, especially if you're just beginning Geometry.

HW: Show your parents your PSAT and NMSQT booklets. Have a parent sign the cover so I know you've done your job. Reno's classes should look closely at pages 10-16 (blue side) to review the types of questions we will encounter over the next couple of days. Parents should sign the cover also.
