Standardized Testing

Given our current situation with the COVID-19 quarantine, many colleges are going test-optional/test flexible/test blind.  Click the link below to see a list of test-optional colleges. As always, check the college website for the most accurate information. We are finding many colleges will still require test scores for merit-based scholarships... but again, this can change.

We encourage students to do some test preparation so that they are comfortable with the format of the test. Khan Academy offers free SAT test prep for students and can be extremely helpful.

PSAT

The PSAT will be given at WBHS on Saturday, October 15, 2022. Juniors must sign up in advance and will be limited to the first 100 students to sign up. Click here for the form and more information: PSAT_reg_2022_1.pdf

SAT/ACT Testing Information

Admission to college is based primarily on classroom performance in high school.  The grades you earn in academic courses generally provide sufficient information for colleges to make decisions.  The standardized test can be additional information the college may review. All juniors will take the SAT during the school day in the spring.

The ACT is a different admissions exam, and most colleges accept either. 

Remember, students who qualify for free/reduced lunch can also qualify for test waivers!  Please see your counselor. 

Our high school code for both tests is 232-882

** Please note that the test dates listed below do not take place at WBHS. Students should register early as test centers have limited space thus students could have long drives on the morning of the test.

FALL Testing SCORES

If you participated in Fall testing, your PSAT/NMSQT scores should be available in December and they'll be posted on studentscores.collegeboard.org.

How to Access Your Scores

If you provided your email address on your answer sheet on test day, you'll receive an email notifying you of when your scores are available.

The email will have a unique access code that will connect you to your scores online. If you haven't already done so, you'll be asked to set up a free College Board account before you can view your scores.

If you didn’t provide an email address on your answer sheet on test day, you can still access your scores online. If you haven't already done so, you'll be asked to set up a free College Board account before you can view your scores.

Don’t have a College Board account? Save time and set one up now.
