Fox students take PSAT

by Danielle Morris and Jessica Schmidt
What is the PSAT you ask?? PSAT stands for Preliminary SAT, which is a National Merit qualifying test, if the student taking the test scores high enough they can qualify for the National Merit Scholarship. The PSAT is also a standardized test that prepares a Student to take the SAT, which is a College Entrance Exam, but it will also help the student take the ACT because of the similarities between the two tests.

There were about 12 Fox students that took the PSAT Wednesday morning. The test lasted from 8:20 AM to Noon. The test consists of 5 tests, 2 parts of Math, 2 parts of Reading, and 1 English. There are four, 25-minute test and one, 30-minute test. The 30-minute test is very beneficial because when the students get their test results back, they will also get their test booklet and can review the questions and have the correct answers for those questions they missed. Mrs. Peavehouse says, "the PSAT can be a great learning tool for College Entrance Exams, and I think everyone if they has the opportunity they should take it!"
