NISD Offers SAT to Juniors on March 2
On March 2, NISD will administer the new SAT to all junior level students enrolled at each high school.  In the fall, eighth through tenth graders had the opportunity to take the PSAT.  The scores are used as an initial screen to the National Merit Scholarship Program.  These tests are given to the students at no cost.  Many universities use the SAT as part of the admission process. 

NISD is committed to providing opportunities for students to prepare for their futures.  Naviance Family Connection provides an online course to help students build math, reading, writing, and SAT/ACT test prep skills.  Through your child's Naviance Family Connection site, students can complete the PrepMe course and track all of the work completed. 

This year, the SAT has implemented very important changes that will be beneficial to students.  There will be no guessing penalty, and questions are related more to content and skills and less on "testing tricks."

For more information on preparing for this test, click here. Watch the video below to learn more about Naviance Family Connection, or go to www.nisdtx.org/naviance.
