Rain Golightly is a sophomore at West. She explained her feelings and how she is preparing for the PSAT. “I have been taking these last few weeks to study with my friends,” Golightly said.
Amelia Peters, a junior at West also explained her thoughts on the testing schedule. “I’m not as worried about the test as I am the schedule. The schedule does affect my personal life, and if there was a way to fit all the testing into a two-full day period it would be better,” Peters said.
There are CMAS questions posted on the TV’s in the science hall. Kyle Applehans, an assistant principal at West has offered to buy breakfast burritos on the test day, for the students who get the most questions right.
Students can use the BlueBook app that is installed on their school computers as well as Khan academy and any other SAT prep websites to get ready for the big week.
