May 2015 PSAT Exam at CDL October 2015 Version française ci-dessous Dear Sir/Madam, CDL will offer the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) on Wednesday 14 October, 2015. This is an optional exam for students who will be in Grades 10/11, IG2, IB1, 2nde and 1ère during the 2015-2016 school year. What is the PSAT and who should take it? The PSAT is an excellent preparation for the SAT or ACT exams. Students considering applying to universities in the United States should take the PSAT in October, and plan to take the SAT or ACT exams later in their G11/IB1/premiere year. Students may take the PSAT in the equivalent of grade 10 and then again in grade 11. Also, students in the High School Diploma (Grade 11) at CDL should consider taking the PSAT. High School Diploma students usually need SAT or ACT exam scores for applications to universities in Canada, Japan, Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne (EHL) and other countries in Europe and Asia where the exams are required for students with a U.S.-style diploma or AP subjects. Information on the PSAT is found at website: www.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt Students must register in advance to take the PSAT. If you would like to register your child for the PSAT, please complete the attached form and return it to the College and Careers Office (CR172), or to Ms. Oshima ([email protected]) by June 5, 2015. Please contact Ms. Oshima with any questions.

Yours sincerely,
