October 8, 2025 - College and Career Readiness Day (CCRD)

Wednesday, October 8th is College and Career Readiness Day. This will be a half-day for all students; no regular classes will be held.  CCRD practice exams and the NMSQT are free; students are automatically registered for tests. All exams are in digital format, and students must use their school issued computers to test. Test dismissal is at 11:45 am, and buses will depart at 12:15 pm. Breakfast begins at 7:45. Lunch will be available for students prior to bus departure. Please see specific grade level information below:

9th Grade

• All 9^th grade students will take a practice Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test - PSAT9. Please watch for additional details regarding testing.

10th Grade

• All 10th grade students have the option to take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholar Qualifying Test -  PSAT/NMSQT. Please see below details regarding the PSAT/NMSQT.

• 10^th grade students are automatically registered for the PSAT/MSQT, but it is only considered a practice exam and is not a qualifying test for Sophomores.  Sophomores interested in an optional practice opportunity should contact their counselor for guidance on taking the exam. Sophomores may also choose to take a nonproctored practice exam through their College Board account, rather than taking the PSAT/NMSQT on College and Career Readiness Day. Please watch for additional details regarding testing.

11th Grade

• The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is an optional standardized assessment for Juniors that is co-sponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). It is the only qualifying test for the National Merit® Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). For more information, visit www.nationalmerit.org.

• 11^th grade students are automatically registered for the PSAT/NMSQT.  The PSAT/NMSQT serves as a good practice opportunity for the SAT, which all Juniors will take in the spring. Please watch for additional details regarding testing.

12th Grade

• Seniors have the option to attend school for help on college essays and college applications, located in the Library. Interested students should sign up with their counselors through Schoology.

• Seniors who have registered for the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) will also test. Students should see their counselor if interested.

• Seniors may be contacted to attend on this date to complete graduation requirements.

Additional Important College Board Testing Information:

• Students must bring their school issued computers and chargers to school on October 8th. Students should ensure that their computers are fully charged before testing.  Students who arrive at school without their school issued computers cannot test.

• Please practice logging into College Board with your student using their College Board username and password. The school is not able to access this information for students.  Please ask your student to share their login information with you, so it is readily available for all testing needs and score reporting during their high school career.  For issues/questions regarding your student’s College Board account or testing outside of school, please contact College Board directly at 866-315-6068.

• All Students are encouraged to utilize College Board throughout the school year to access test prep materials.
