Standardized Tests (PSAT, Practice ACT, AP exams)

As part of the CLARC team, Jesuit’s Testing Coordinator plans logistics for school-administered standardized tests, like the practice ACT and PSAT/NMSQT, and all Jesuit-run AP course exams.

The testing coordinator also assists extended-time-qualified students in setting up accommodations for the SAT and ACT. 

Parents wishing to find out information should first consult with their student as they have received all necessary information. If parents then need more information, they can contact Jesuit’s testing coordinator, Mr. Orazio.

Jesuit is not, nor does it plan to become, a testing site for the ACT or SAT.

For advice on testing beyond logistics, please reference the Jesuit Counseling and College Advising sites.
