PSAT Announcement - Wednesday, October 2
The PSAT/NMSQT will be administered to registered junior students at Plano West on Wednesday, October 2. Testing will begin promptly at 9:05 AM. Students should arrive by 8:45 AM, so they have time to check their room assignments and get settled in their testing rooms. Room assignments will be located in the A-building foyer.
Student test-takers need to bring the following items to school for their test:
-A charged Chromebook and a charging cord
-Pens/pencils
-A current and valid school/government-issued photo ID
-Snacks/water (students will not have lunch until after their test has been completed)
-Optional: Calculator (a calculator is embedded in the digital exam)
Junior students who did not register for the PSAT/NMSQT on October 2 will be assigned to tutorial/study hall rooms, starting at 9:05 AM. Attendance will be taken for all junior students.
Senior students will have a delayed start bell schedule on October 2. Seniors may arrive for lunch at 11:18 AM, or they may wait to arrive until their first class period. Please note that periods 0/7 are the first periods after lunch.
There will be no alternate bus transportation; therefore, senior students who arrive at 9:05 AM will be working on college applications in the library until lunch. If one or more of their teachers is assisting with the PSAT administration, they should plan on checking in to their relocation room. Class relocation assignments will be posted in the A-building foyer, as well as the upper and lower A-building hallways.
Please reference the adjusted bell schedule for Wednesday, October 2:
