PRACTICE PSAT/SAT/ACT
The Plano Senior High School PTSA will be offering PRACTICE PRA, PSAT, ACT
and SAT tests through The Princeton Review. The fall practice tests are on
Saturday, September 6, 2008 at Plano Senior with the follow-up strategy
session on Thursday, September 11 in the PSHS cafeteria. These practice
tests are provided before the PSAT in October for juniors and other testing
dates. It is a great way to have a timed practice run before the real thing!
The PRA is a good test for middle school students to determine if ACT or SAT
is more suited to their test taking abilities. Contact pshs_ptsa@yahoo.com
for the registration form. Pre-registration deadline is September 2, 2008
and walk-ins will not be accepted if registration has reached capacity. Sign
