Helene Melnikoff did take the PSAT: It took a lot out of me. I had to go to Roy Rogers to pig out. Most juniors agree with Helene-to some extent the Preliminary Scholastic Apti- tude Test is difficult and de- manding. The teachers don't prepare us for them, states Brian Rubin. Brian feels that he took the PSAT without knowing what types of questions and information would appear on the test. In contrast, Guidance Counselor David Lynn believes that eleven years of schooling prepares students for the exam. Also, school gives them knowledge about how to approach the questions. Mr. Lynn expresses some reserva- tions toward taking the PSAT. It's not super accurateg it only tests limited knowledge. However, he considers the test worthwhile for most students to take, as it is a good predictor of college grades. Mr. Lynn explains that in reality the college entrance tests-especial- ly the SAT-are almost impossible to avoid if a student is interested in continuing his education after high schoolg almost all colleges require them for admission. Five weeks after taking the PSAT, anxious juniors received their scores. Reactions were varied. I could have done much better, deplores Lisa Grebow. Scores prompted several juniors to take preparatory courses for the up- coming SAT's. Other juniors attend- ed the classes for different reasons. My mother told me to, com- ments Dina Burt, because I needed help with my verbal skills. Dina adds, I think my verbal scores lon the SATI will go up because I took RHS teachers offered additional In the class. l

SAT practice seminars after school to help students achieve better scores on the exam. What's it all worth? Each year, 5850 honored students receive S19 million in National Merit Scholar- ships. But for the majority of RHSers, the PSAT is merely the beginning of the arduous college admissions pro- cess. 55 percent of the junior class took the PSAT on October 25.
