The following information pertains to all Penn students.
On Oct. 15, Penn will be administering the PSAT and the ReadiStep exams. More information about the exams can be found by clicking on the test names.
All students are expected to arrive for a full day of school, whether they are testing or not. Those students who are not testing will report to the CPA, cafeteria, or another designated location while other students are testing. All freshman will take the ReadiStep, all sophomores will take the PSAT, and juniors who signed up in the bookstore will take the PSAT as well.
These exams are intended to rate college and career readiness and are distributed by the College Board. The College Board will record and report scores. The exams are formal and, therefore, students should bring two sharpened #2 pencils with erasers, two black or blue ink pens, and a calculator (4-function, scientific, or graphing).
Students can find their testing room on a list that will be posted on Monday, Oct. 13. These lists will be posted just inside Door A and also between room 151 and LGI B on the Testing Wall.
Wenesday, Oct. 15 is a black day, and the normal block schedule will not be used. Instead, an altered schedule will be put in place for the day. The schedule for Oct. 15 is listed below.
