SAT Reasoning Test

The SAT Reasoning Test is a college entrance exam that measures verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities. It is required by many colleges in the eastern part of the United States and is used along with high school records in predicting a student’s ability to be successful at the college level.

SAT Subject Tests/SAT II

The SAT Subject exams are achievement tests that measure specific areas of study. The more compettive colleges require SAT II tests. The specific tests to be taken should be selected on the basis of scholastic achievement, the anticipated college major, and the requirements of the college to which the student plans to apply. The SAT Subject application packet is included in the SAT Reasoning test application packet available in the guidance office. A student cannot take the SAT II test on the same date he/she is scheduled to take the SAT I test.

PSSA

The PSSA is a standardized test that is administered to all PA public schools. The test covers reading, math, and writing content and helps schools to determine how well students are learning at certain grade levels. Students are identified as Advanced, Proficient, Basic, or Below Basic in each of the three content areas. From there, we can then identify where the student may need additional help. The state requires that students demonstrate proficiency in both reading and math on order to graduate. For more information:
