Attention all juniors: You will be taking the digital Practice SAT/NMSQT exam on Wednesday, October 25th. Juniors are expected to be in their seats in the Field House by 7:55 a.m. so we can begin testing promptly at 8:00 a.m. Students receiving accommodations will receive notice of their testing location separately.

It is incredibly important that all juniors are aware of the following:

  1. You must bring your school-issued, fully-charged Chromebook to the exam. No personal devices will be allowed in the testing room and we will not be distributing Chromebooks to students who do not have a working device on that day. 
  2. If you are concerned about your Chromebook's battery life, please bring your Chromebook charger. Outlets will be limited.
  3. Bring a pen or pencil for scratch work. The school will provide scratch paper during the exam.
  4. Bring a snack and/or drink for the exam, to be placed under your desk at all times.
  5. Do not bring an internet-enabled device like your cell phone or smartwatch. These will be confiscated at the beginning of the exam.

Please see Mr. Helgeson in room 277 with any questions.
