• Bonnabel will be hosting ACT and ACT WorkKeys Virtual tutoring sessions throughout the week and on Saturdays.

  • Remember, a higher ACT score means better chances of college acceptance and money in scholarships! 

• JUNIORS AND SOPHOMORES, SIGN UP TO TAKE THE PSAT! 

  The PSAT/NMSQT is the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The PSAT is a great primer for the SAT, and even the ACT, but it’s more than just a trial run. PSAT scores are used to identify National Merit Scholars and award merit scholarships. More than 3.4 million high school students (mostly juniors and sophomores) take this nationwide, multiple-choice test every year. 

   

  What is the PSAT and why is it important?

  The PSAT won’t count towards your college admissions applications, but it is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship. Some of the highest scoring students may win scholarship money, so while you shouldn’t stress out about the PSAT, you certainly shouldn’t ignore it either. Use the PSAT as practice for the SAT and ACT and an important guidepost on your college admissions journey.
