When finished selecting classes in Skyward,
print a copy for your records.
Remember – Just because a class is listed
doesn’t mean it will be offered at CHS. So
selecting many alternates is VERY important.
No course request changes will be accepted
after June 2nd 2017. We will not be making
elective changes the first week of school. So
ask questions and make any changes prior to
leaving for the summer! 
Using Your PSAT/NMSQT® Scores
to Increase College Readiness






The PSAT/NMSQT® is highly relevant to
your future success because it focuses on
the skills and knowledge at the heart of
education.
It measures:
◦ What you learn in high school
◦ What you need to succeed in college
The PSAT/NMSQT measures reading,
writing and language, and math skills
developed over many years, both in and
out of school.
The PSAT/NMSQT does not ask for facts
from literature, history, or science, or
recall of math formulas, because it
measures your reasoning and critical
thinking skills.
You don’t have to discover secret tricks or
cram the night before.
There is no penalty for guessing.
The test length is 2 hours, 45 minutes
