PLAN Preliminary ACT

PSAT Preliminary SAT Collegeboard’s My College Quick Start provides a personalized SAT study program based on your PSAT scores. The access code for this program is at the bottom of your PSAT score report.https://quickstart.collegeboard.org/posweb/login.jsp

Understanding your PSAT & PLAN results

SAT-I is the SAT. Plan to take it in the spring of your junior year!

SAT-II is a shorter test for particular subject areas; some colleges may require these. Check your possible future college choices and plan to take them at or near the end of your junior year if at all possible.

ACT is a standardized reasoning test that evaluates students in English, math, science & social studies. For some students, it is a good alternative to the SAT. And ACT scores will convert to SAT scores! Wake County plans to pay for you to take this next year!

Remember, most colleges select your highest individual scores, even if they were scored on different test dates.
