As we enter the winter season, we focus on practice test review and future test registration. If your sophomore student took the Pre-ACT this past October, the results were mailed home two weeks ago. If for some reason you have not received it, please come to CHS Guidance and we can photocopy the result report we have on file. In addition, on Monday, November 25th, we passed out Pre-ACT booklets to students in their US1 History classes. If for some reason your student was absent that day, come pick up the test booklet in our office.
Now that you have the results, and you have the actual test booklet back, what do you do with it?
First, start a binder that is going to contain all of your college preparation materials. Put it somewhere in your home where both student and parent/guardian can access it easily. Next, spend some time going over the questions that were marked incorrect using the answer key in the test result booklet. Even though questions change, student performance will not improve unless they learn from the questions they got wrong. Once that is complete, watch the video below. It gives you step by step directions on how to use your Pre-ACT scores in ACT Academy so that it produces a practice program to prepare the student for the ACT in junior year.
Lastly, on Thursday, December 12th, at 7:45 am in the library, the CHS Guidance Counselors will be hosting a Coffee with Counselors to discuss PSAT and Pre-ACT results. We look forward to seeing you there.
Please also note that PSAT score reports have not been sent back to CHS from College Board yet. As soon as they are here, we will put them in the mail to you.
