Preliminary SAT 9th grade
SAT 9th Grade Parent Letter
Dear Parent or Guardian,
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that your student will take the Preliminary SAT 9 (PSAT 9) on October 14th,2020. The PSAT 9 tests the same skills and knowledge as the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, and PSAT 10—in a way that makes sense for eighth and ninth graders. It measures what they’re already learning, shows them whether they’re on track for college, and lets them know where they need the most improvement. That means students have time to tackle these areas long before they take the SAT. The following are other key benefits of the PSAT 9.
- It helps establish a baseline for students as they enter high school and begin preparing for college and career readiness.
- It will identify areas where students excel and may want to consider taking higher-level courses, as well as areas they should focus on to improve academically.
- It provides students with better access to data and personalized study through the online CollegeBoard and Khan Academy resources.
For additional information, including practice tests and sample questions regarding this assessment, please refer to the PSAT 8/9 Student Guide on the CollegeBoard website at http://collegeboard.org.
Please review the following calculator tips & policy with your student before testing:
Calculator tips for PSAT 9:
- Students are strongly encouraged to bring a calculator to the PSAT 9 on test day, whether or not they plan to use it.
- Take a calculator you are comfortable using. Do not buy a new one just for the test.
- Do not try to use the calculator on every question. No question requires one.
- Decide how to solve each problem before deciding whether to use a calculator.
- Practice sample questions with a calculator on hand.
Calculator Policy
- Refer to the PSAT 9 Student Guide for a complete listing of approved calculators.
- Your device may NOT be a pocket organizer, hand-held or laptop computer, electronic writing pad, tablet, or pen input device, calculator with a QWERTY (typewriter-like) keypad, calculator with paper tape, calculator that makes noises or "talks", calculator with a power cord or that requires an outlet.
If you have any questions, please contact Brandy Meadows at [email protected] (386) 575-4153 Ext. 44040.
Please note that PSAT 9 scores are not sent to colleges.
Thank you,

Estimado Padre o Tutor,
Deseamos notificarle que su hijo tomará el examen Preliminary SAT 9 (PSAT 9) el Octubre 14th, 2020. El PSAT 9 evalúa las mismas destrezas y conocimiento que el SAT, PSAT/NMSQT y PSAT 10—de forma apropiada para estudiantes de octavo y noveno grado. Mide lo que ya ellos han aprendido, les muestra si están encaminados hacia la preparación para la universidad y las áreas en las que deben mejorar. Esto significa que los estudiantes tienen tiempo para trabajar en esas áreas con mucha anticipación, antes de tomar el SAT. A continuación, les presentamos otros importantes beneficios del PSAT 9.
- Ayuda a establecer un punto de referencia para los estudiantes al entrar a la escuela superior y en la preparación para la Universidad y carreras profesionales.
- Identificará áreas en las que los estudiantes sobresalen y pueden considerar tomar cursos avanzados, así como áreas en las que se deben enfocar para mejorar académicamente.
- Les provee a los estudiantes acceso a datos y estudios personalizados a través de CollegeBoard en línea y recursos de Khan Academy.
Para información adicional que incluye exámenes de práctica y ejemplos de preguntas relacionadas con este examen, favor de referirse a la Guía del Estudiante del PSAT 9 en el sitio web de CollegeBoard en http://collegeboard.org.

Consejos para el uso de calculadoras en el PSAT 9:
- Se les exhorta a los estudiantes a traer una calculadora el día del examen PSAT 9, aunque no planifiquen utilizarla.
- Utilice una calculadora con la que se sienta cómodo. No compre una calculadora nueva solo para el examen.
- No trate de utilizar la calculadora en cada pregunta. Ninguna de las preguntas requiere el uso de calculadora.
- Decida cómo resolver cada problema antes de determinar si usará la calculadora o no.
