SAT success starts with preparing for the PSAT
The PSAT is the entryway into the National Merit Scholarship Program, as well as a strong predictor for SAT success. While most juniors take the PSAT nationwide, BCHS students begin taking the PSAT their freshman year.
The PSAT identifies strengths and weaknesses of each student as assessed by the College Board. Then, combined with personal analysis from BCHS? team of the Vice President of Academic Growth and faculty, RTI (response to intervention) sessions are utilized to improve weakness in core subject areas for students who need it.
Students demonstrating a high level of testing propensity receive additional intensive PSAT preparation in a seminar setting beginning their freshman year.
