Briar Woods High School 9^th, 10^th, and 11^th grade students were administered the PSAT on October 17, 2012.  When they receive their scores on December 17, 2012, students will view the PSAT video to help them understand their score reports.  Parents are strongly encouraged to view the video as well.

A comprehensive, self-guided powerpoint will provide them with detailed information about the PSAT score report as well as My College QuickStart.

My College QuickStart is an online college and career planning kit available free of charge to all students who take the PSAT/NMSQT. It is powered by their responses to the test and provides personalized information that helps students take their next steps toward college:

My Online Score Report—an enhanced score report that allows students to review each test question, their answers, and the correct answers with answer explanations

My SAT Study Plan—a customized SAT study plan based on students’ PSAT/NMSQT test performance, highlighting skills for review and practice

My Personality—a detailed personality test that helps students learn about themselves and discover majors and careers that fit their strengths and interests

My Major & Career Matches—extensive information about majors and careers, including insights about what to expect and what courses to take now

My College Matches—a starter list of colleges based on students’ home state and indicated choice of major

Students will need their access code, which is printed on the paper score report, and the tool can be utilized throughout high school. Using My College QuickStart together with your child is a great way to introduce and guide your child through important aspects of the college-going process.
