PSAT
The PSAT provides practice for the SAT and qualifies students with high enough scores as National Merit Finalists. The test will be administered Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Scores typically arrive on campus during the week of Fall final exams and are distributed in January through English classes. For information on score interpretation after the test, students should visit www.collegeboard.com and login to "My College QuickStart" using the individualized access code printed on their score sheet.
BISD pays for all 11th graders to take the test. It will be given during the school day.
9th and 10th graders are allowed to sign up to take the test for a cost of $15 (this amount is subject to change from year-to-year).
