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)

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.
