It measures what students are learning in school and lets them know where there is room for improvement. Students are tested in math, reading, writing, and language. Total scores for the PSAT range between 240 and 1440. The best way to prepare for the PSAT 8/9 is to do homework, study for tests and quizzes, read, and ask questions in class. These are habits and choices that lead to success in school and on future standardized tests.  \nPSAT  \nThe PSAT (administered to sophomores and juniors) is a practice SAT that gives students the opportunity to assess their skills in math, reading, writing, and language. Total scores for the PSAT range between 320 and 1520. The best way to prepare for the PSAT is to continue good study habits in school and read! Jesuit provides a PSAT prep class during summer session although all students can access test prep resources on the College Board PSAT website. Students can use their online account with College Board to view their PSAT scores and to access SAT test prep resources. Note: Juniors who take the PSAT will be considered for the National Merit Scholarship Competition, which uses a state-specific Selection Index to identify Commended and Semifinalist students.  \nPreACT  \nThe PreACT (administered to sophomores) is a grade-appropriate practice ACT that gives students the opportunity to assess their skills in English, math, reading, and science and a snapshot of predicted success on the ACT. Scores are on a 1-36 scale. The best way to prepare for the PreACT is to continue good study habits in school and read!  \nSAT  \nThe SAT is a standardized test administered by the College Board. The test is comprised of an evidence-based reading & writing section and a math section, with total score range between 400 and 1600. There is also an optional essay. For test prep info, test dates, testing locations, etc. visit [https://sat.collegeboard.org](https://sat.collegeboard.org)  \nACT  \nThe ACT is a standardized test that tests student knowledge in English, math, reading, and science, with a 1-36 score scale. For test prep info, test dates, testing locations, etc. visit [http://www.act.org/](http://www.act.org/)  \nSAT vs ACT  \nThe best way to determine which test best fits you, take practice tests – like the PSAT and PreACT, which are both administered at Jesuit – and then compare the results. In addition to comparing test structure and content, it’s also important to consider your college admissions timeline when scheduling & registering for exams. Thereis no significant content difference between the ACT and the SAT, though:  \n􀁸 ACT’s math section tests slightly more complex math comprehension  \n􀁸 ACT has a science section (which tests critical thinking skills, not specific science knowledge)  \n􀁸 SAT has one math section for which students cannot use a calculator.  \n\n|  | ACT | SAT |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Length* | 2 hours, 55 min (without Writing Test)\u003Cbr>3 hours, 35 min (with Writing Test)\u003Cbr>Students have less time per problem than SAT (good for students who perform well under pressure!) | 3 hours (without Essay)\u003Cbr>3 hours, 50 min (with Essay)\u003Cbr>Students have more time per problem than ACT (good for students who may need a bit more time to consider answers) |\n| Sections: Minutes / \\#\u003Cbr>of Questions | English: 45 / 75\u003Cbr>Reading: 35 / 40\u003Cbr>Math (with calculator): 60 / 60\u003Cbr>Science: 35 / 40\u003Cbr>TOTAL: 175 min / 215 questions\u003Cbr>Writing (optional): 40 min / 1 prompt | Writing & Language: 35 / 44 Reading: 65","cbCaimLT1qA9trCX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimLT1qA9trCX","pdf",129643,"English","# PSAT 8/9\n## What it tests and preparation\n# PSAT\n## Purpose, scores, and scholarship note\n# PreACT\n## What it tests and score scale\n# SAT\n## Test structure and resources\n# ACT\n## Test structure and resources\n# SAT vs ACT\n## How to choose and key differences\n# SAT & ACT Information\n## College admissions requirements and timing","[{\"question\":\"Which standardized tests does Jesuit administer besides AP exams?\",\"answer\":\"Jesuit administers PSAT 8/9, PreACT, PSAT, SAT, and ACT.
