PSAT scores will be released on December 12th. You’ll receive good information about where your kids are strong and where they might need more support. Colleges don’t see the PSAT scores so not to worry if your kids didn’t do as well as you hoped.
The good news is that they have time to develop those skills between now and when they take the real SAT or ACT.
Some more good news: The math portion of the new SAT will have less text-heavy questions because many students weren’t able to complete the math sections on the new test. Thank goodness!
Many states are using the SAT as their state’s accountability requirement, which parents prefer and as a result, students show up to take. I’m all for reducing the amount of days that students are required to take state-mandated tests because it gives them more time to be productive in the classroom.
