SAT Saturday October 3:
All students must bring their school ID to get on campus. ALL STUDENTS must bring their Passport or Thai National ID and Admissions Ticket to gain entrance to the test rooms. No student will be admitted without a Thai National ID or a Passport and their Admissions Ticket. A school ID is not accepted for testing purposes. There are no exceptions–College Board makes these rules, not us. All phones will be turned off for the entire testing time and students may not access them until the tests are completed. We will let students in at 7:30am.
Seniors:
All seniors have Senior Seminar next week on October 8th or 9th in MPB1. It will be during an IB student’s TOK class or a non-IB student’s free period. ALL SENIORS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND ONE OF THE SENIOR SEMINARS, Period 1-8.
Juniors:
The PSAT11 (Preliminary (practice) SAT) is the morning of October 14. Colleges do not ever see this score–it is only for the student to get a baseline and to get the “real testing experience”. It is only for juniors and juniors may Opt-Out of the test if they fill out the form they can pick up in the College Office. If you think you will not be needing an SAT in your future college endeavors, or have questions about if you should or should not take it, please just stop by and ask. All juniors are signed up to take it unless they OPT-OUT.
