Juniors begin year of preparation. With only one year of high school left, juniors begin to prepare for their college future or on a job. After two years of discovering their interests, taking college preparatory courses and vocational oriented classes are recommended. College doesn't seem as far away ' as it does to a sophomore, especially when the class that's only one year ahead of them is graduating. By the spring, daily announcements are directed toward the juniors, telling them to sign up with various schools of higher education. So begins the preparing and worry- ing initiated bythe Preliminary Scho- 168 juniors Iastic Aptitude Test CPSATJ to pre- pare them for the SAT. Juniors ques- tion what they are interested in now, and try to decide what will interest them in the future. They talk to their senior friends, and find out what they will need to do next year to get a scholarship or apply to a college. And in the spring, juniors make the decision whether or not to schedule themselves for a blow-off senior year. The seemingly endless prepara- tions and worries of a senior begin now, in your junior year, because the future keeps getting closer and deci- sions will have to be made. .- -W-get L ,W j V ' v. ..

PSAT prepares juniors for enfrance exams. During the junior year of high school, an important test is taken to tell students exactly where they rank among other college bound juniors. The Pre- liminary Scholarship Aptitude Test CPSATJ, taken in October every year, tests verbal and mathematical skills. lt prepares students for college entrance tests like the SAT, ACT and Achievement tests. Although sophomores are urged to take the test for prac- tice, it is vital that juniors take it in order to qualify for national merit recognition and for possi- ble scholarships. This test is helpful for all students who take it to recognize their strengths and weaknesses and to learn how to correct them. j Over one million students take this test annually, and out of those, thirty-five thousand are recognized as commended students. 0nly about fifteen thousand students in the entire country make semi-finalists. The PSAT has no passing or failing scores, they are consid- ered high or low in comparisonl to others who took the test. Col- lege bound students usually score higher than those who aren't planning to attend col- lege. Those who are planning to attend college will find that this test is very useful to them.
