Frequently-asked Testing Questions:
When should my child plan on being in attendance for their testing day?
All 9th=11th grade students must attend their digital readiness testing session on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. At this session they will complete all required preparation steps so that their CollegeBoard testing session runs quickly and smoothly. In addition, all Juniors will complete their ACT WorkKeys test the morning of Thursday, March 27, 2025.
After Spring Break, all Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen will complete their College Board Test on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 during the normal school day. In addition, all Juniors will complete their M-STEP Science and Social Studies tests on April 24, 2024. All testing sessions require all students to attend, and will be taken during the normal school day schedule.
How will my child know where to report on their testing day(s)? What should they bring with them for their testing day(s)? Will safety protocols be in place during testing?
Schedules will be posted throughout the building as we get closer to testing days so that students know when and where they are to report, time frames for each test (and lunchtimes as well), and what they are allowed to bring with them. These will also be emailed to students a few weeks prior to Spring Break.
Are students required to complete their test(s)?
Yes. These tests are mandatory by state law and free of charge.
What is the Vo-tech Schedule on these dates for Juniors? Seniors?
These schedules will be released weeks prior to Spring Break..
Does my child need to do anything prior to their testing day?
Here are a few recommended tips before testing day(s):
- Make sure you bring a CHARGED Chromebook and their POWER CORD as well, as all College Board tests are digital this year. In addition, students should bring pencils and good erasers as some problems may involve scrap work. DO NOT BRING A WATCH OR CELL PHONE – AS THEY ARE PROHIBITED!
- There will be an online DESMOS calculator available to you, but you may bring an approved calculator as well. Not sure? Check out the website https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat-subject-tests/taking-the-test/calculator-policy to see if your calculator will work for your test(s). Calculators are not required, but are recommended.
- Interested in learning more about the test they are about to take? Go to https://www.hpsvikings.org/our-schools/hhs/state-testing/ for specific test information.
- Juniors should have a list of the 4 places they would like to send their SAT scores prior to their SAT testing day. Then, while filling in information for the test, they will type-in the codes for each of these institutions. These are the 4 locations their SAT scores will be sent to FOR FREE! Otherwise, they will need to log into their College Board account and pay to send their scores somewhere else.
Is there anything else I need to know about my child’s test(s)?
Yes, if your child is taking the PSAT 10 or the SAT there is information your student will be required to provide during the pre-administration session (along with optional information like four free SAT score sends, opt-in to the Student Search, and an optional student questionnaire). Here is information about two of these optional sections, and a link to provide consent for your student to complete:
1 – Student Search Service
As a parent, you can provide consent for your student to opt-in to the Student Search Service when they complete their answer sheet. Student Search Service connects students with additional colleges and scholarship organizations by sharing information with participating organizations, which will provide you and your student with:
• information about colleges and universities that match your student’s academic interests
• information on financial aid and scholarships to help deserving students access scholarships they’ve earned
• information about majors, courses, and degree options
The College Board only shares data with eligible colleges, universities, and scholarship and educational opportunity programs that signed an agreement to communicate with students only for the purposes listed above. These entities most often connect with students based on expected graduation date, cumulative grade point average (GPA), score range, and intended college major.
2 – Optional Student Questionnaire
As a parent, you can provide consent for your student to participate in the optional questionnaire. The information from these questions will be added to their College Board student record. Your child’s responses to the optional questionnaire:
- provide data used by the College Board for research and planning to improve tests and services
- help match students with colleges, universities, and scholarship and educational opportunity programs
2 – BigFuture School and Connections
- Connections gives students the opportunity to connect with certain colleges
- BigFuture School helps students take career quiz and surveys
You can learn more about the College Board’s privacy policy at Privacy Statement – College Board Privacy Center
If you are interested in having your child opt into the Student Search Service, and/or complete the optional Student Questionnaire, then you must fill out the following link by March 1, 2025. Otherwise, students can log into their own College Board account and sign up for the Student Search Service or BigFuture School/Connections (recommended).
