Post-Secondary Counseling

Hello Sophomores, Freshmen and Parents!

• PSAT Practice Test and Test Prep for Freshmen and Sophomores. All Freshmen and Sophomores are automatically registered for the PSAT Schoolday test on April 22. PSAT 8/9 and PSAT 10 are practice tests for the SAT test (which students typically take in their Junior year). There is no need for students to prepare for the PSAT. However, there is a minimum SAT score (470 Reading/480 Math – both out of 800) needed to graduate high school in the state of Colorado, so we do have test prep tutor, Philip Kalfas, coming into AHS to give a test strategy session for all Freshmen and Sophomores per below schedule:

  
  

  9th grade: February 25 during Freshman Health classes

  10th grade: March 18 during Sophomore science classes

  
  

  Additionally, all students have weekly test prep during their SET classes where they will work on practice problems for the PSAT 8/9 or PSAT10 test.
