Make
an appointment with your high school guidance counselor to discuss
the steps you must take to prepare for the Preliminary Scholastic
Aptitude Test (PSAT) or the PLAN test (for ACT). Request information
on:
- Classes to help prepare you for the PSAT or PLAN
- Available testing
accommodations
- Procedure to determine your eligibility for accommodations
- Necessary paperwork and application to request accommodations

Record all tasks and
deadlines on the Planning Calendar. (See Activity 24.)

You
will find additional information to help you to prepare for the
PSAT at the College Board Website (http://www.collegeboard.com).
The ACT Website (http://www.act.org) will have information on the
PLAN test. |
|
Complete
and submit your application to take the PSAT or PLAN. If you are
eligible for testing accommodations, complete and submit the necessary
paperwork. Pay close attention to the application deadline.
Attend a preparation class that may be available.
Take the PSAT or PLAN. |

Discuss
the test-taking experience and your test results with a teacher
or guidance counselor. Questions to consider:
- Does my test score
meet the admissions requirements at my colleges of interest?
- In what areas of the test would I like to improve my score?
- What steps do I take to improve my score in those areas?
- Did I use the accommodations
I am eligible to receive? Did it help?
