Anoka-Hennepin Community Education

In an effort to support our home school students in their post-secondary endeavors, the Anoka-Hennepin school district has reserved 25 PSAT tests for 10th and 11th grade home schoolers who are interested. The PSAT/NMSQT is the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The PSAT is a great primer for the SAT, and even the ACT, but it’s more than just a trial run. PSAT scores are used to identify National Merit Scholars and award merit scholarships. Once registration is received and processed, no refunds will be issued. Testing held at: Secondary Technical Education Program (STEP) at 1353 West Highway 10, Anoka MN 55303 Enter the Forum Rooms. To Bring: #2 pencils and eraser Scratch paper An approved 4-function, scientific, or graphing calculator A valid school- or government-issued photo ID Not Permitted: Cell phones must be turned off during testing. Please do not bring any other papers or books, as they will not be allowed into the testing area. If for any reason your student cannot attend testing as planned, please notify the home school office as soon as possible at 763-506-1273. NO REFUNDS will be issued. If it is the morning of testing and your student will not be there, please call 763-506-1260 and the receptionist will take your message.

This past year has resulted in some of the most significant changes to the college planning process in decades. Admission trends have changed around how colleges admit students. There are substantial changes to the FAFSA and financial aid that may make college more expensive. Schools have gone ACT/SAT optional, but not necessarily when they award scholarships, and some colleges are going back to requiring standardized tests. Join us to learn how these changes may impact your family, and new strategies to consider to give your student the best opportunity to be admitted and maximize scholarships and financial aid.
