Dear Sophomore & Junior Parents/Guardians,

The PSAT will be administered at Steele Canyon this year for sophomores and juniors on Saturday, October 14th , 8:00 am – 11:30 am in the Gym. Students will check-in at the gym by 7:30 am. The PSAT is optional for students. The PSAT is a preliminary, or practice test, that will help prepare 4-year college-bound students for the SAT, which they can take for the first time in spring of their junior year. Though the SAT is not an admission requirement any longer for CSU/UC schools in California, students are encouraged to take the PSAT to prepare for the SAT if they plan to apply to private colleges, competitive colleges in California, and out-of-state colleges.

All interested sophomores and juniors must register for the PSAT on the TotalRegistration website at www.TotalRegistration.net/PSAT/053613 . The PSAT will be offered to all interested sophomores and juniors at no cost. The deadline for sophomores and juniors to register for the PSAT is Tuesday, September 12th. If you have any questions, please reach out to your Counselor.

The ASVAB is coming on Wednesday, October 25th on campus. Check-in starts @ 7:30 am; 10th-12th-grade interested students must sign up in Naviance just as they would for a college visit. Student limited seats available. ASVAB stands for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, which is a multiple-choice test that helps you identify which Occupational Specialties would be best for you-your career placement. Limited space available. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program (CEP), takes approximately three hours, covers eight subjects and is composed of 200 questions. The ASVAB CEP is currently a pen and paper test and also electronically in some areas. If it is offered by student’s home school, high school students can take the ASVAB CEP test in grades 10th through 12th . They can only take it at the high school they attend unless special arrangements are made.

In addition, this test can help the Military to identify which Military Occupational Specialties would be best for you if you choose to join the Military in the future. The test
will be given on October 25th with a check- in starting @ 7:30 am in the Staff lounge.
