On Wednesday, October 27th, we will be giving the PSAT 8/9 test on our campus. It is available to 8th grade students and the cost is $14.00. The test allows students to practice and prepare for the SAT. It gives them an opportunity to work on timed tests since they tend to struggle within the time constraints of the SAT and ACT. In addition, the PSAT corresponds directly to the SAT, and with the results, you will receive information on how to continue to prepare for the SAT based on your student’s scores.
If you would like for your student to take the PSAT 8/9, please have him or her come by the counselor’s office to sign up by October 22nd. Please make checks payable to Mineola Middle School. Space is limited, so students should sign up as soon as possible. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Dudley at 903-569-5338.
