October 14th College and Career Readiness Day

On October 14th, high school students in Fort Bend ISD will participate in assessments that
will assist them in preparing for college and/or a career.

The PSAT exam will be administered to all students in grades 8 through 11 on Wednesday, October 14,
2015. Because the exam will be administered district-wide, grade 8 through 11 students do not need to
register for this exam.

Home-schooled or private school children who would like to take the PSAT will need to register for the exam
with the Campus Assessment Coordinator at the nearest high school campus. Registration dates are
September 7 - October 2, 2015.

9th, 10th and 11th grade students will take the PSAT (pre-SAT) assessment. You can
find information about the PSAT

sophomores and Juniors will receive a PSAT study guide and practice test from their
English teachers by end of September.

12th grade students will listen to a presentation on college and career readiness in
the auditorium.
