The PSAT 8/9 is designed for 8th and 9th grade students and will be used as one measure to help determine high school placement at Glenbrook South for the 2020-2021 academic year. The PSAT will also help educators and students figure out what they need to work on most so that they are college and career ready when they graduate high school.
Scores for the SAT Suite of Assessments (SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, PSAT 8/9) are reported on a common vertical scale, allowing educators and students to measure progress through a students’ high school career. Presently, the state of Illinois will administer the PSAT 8/9 to all students in ninth grade, PSAT 10 to all students in 10th grade and SAT to all students in 11th grade. Taking all three tests, the PSAT 8/9, the PSAT 10 and the SAT provide one way to track academic progress. Also, students familiar with the PSAT tests may feel better prepared when taking the SAT junior year.
