PSAT Information:

Good Day South Cobb Supporters,

You may have recently learned that South Cobb High School was one of six high schools in the district that reported double digit gains in SAT performance.  Our percentage points rose nearly 32%!  It is our goal to continue this trend by ensuring our students are adequately prepared for the administration of this high stakes examination.  Please note: PSATs will be administered at South Cobb High School on October 19th from 8:30 -1:30p.m.  Information about PSATs are listed below.  We thank you for your support and attention to this matter. 

What is PSAT- PSAT- is a Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).  It is a standardized assessment administered by the College Board and cosponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) in the United States. Approximately 3.5 million students take the PSAT/NMSQT each year.

Who takes the PSAT?  All SCHS 10^th graders will take the PSATs for free, in preparation for the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT).

Who also takes the PSAT?  11^th graders may elect to pay for the PSAT.  Juniors may sign up in the magnet building with Ms. Coaxum-Young or with their counselor.  The cost for the assessment is $15.00. In addition, select 9^th grade repeaters (9R) may also qualify for a free PSAT (if they will transition to a junior at the end of the 2016/17 school year).  Ms. Coaxum-Young will send specific information to those affected students.
