Due to previous the cancellation of the October 11 SAT, due to the Napa fires
and the temporary school closures, students who signed up for the test had a second
chance to take the exam on Wednesday, October 25.
That day, students met at the Community Center by the Solano County Library at
7:45 a.m. where they were able to make up the test. The PSAT allows students to
prepare for the SAT exam that will be taken during their junior and/ or senior year. The
SAT results for each student is sent to colleges and used as an admission standard.
The PSAT test is generally divided into three sections: reading, writing and
language, as well as math with and without a calculator. Despite a rough start, most
students had completed each section under the allotted time. The overall duration of the
test was scheduled from 8:00-12:30, although it took a little longer than planned. While
test-takers were originally expected to be finished in time to return to Armijo during
lunch, most of them missed a large portion of 5 th period and only attended school that
day for 6 th period.
