My College QuickStart is an easy-to-use, online, personalized college and career planning kit available free of charge to all students who take the PSAT/NMSQT. The information and answers your child provided when they took the test are incorporated into this useful tool, and it presents their data back to them in four main parts:
• My Online Score Report- an enhanced score report that allows students to review each test question, the student’s answer, and the correct answer with answer explanations.
• My SAT Study Plan- a customized SAT study plan based on student PSAT/NMSQT test performance, highlighting skills for review and practice.
• My College Matches- A starter list of colleges based on the student’s state and indicated choice of major.
• My Major and Career Matches- Major and career matches that are compatible with the student’s general interests and personality type.
Access is available using the access code printed on the student’s paper score report, and the tool can be utilized throughout high school. Using My College QuickStart together with your child is a great way to introduce and guide your child through important aspects of the college-going process. Visit www.collegeboard.com\quickstart.

Mason County Eastern is offering ACT’s PLAN test to all sophomores. The PLAN Test is an optional 10th grade test that predicts how your student may do on the ACT Test. The ACT is taken in the junior and/or senior year and is used in the college admission process. In addition to predicting ACT success, the PLAN provides useful information regarding career strengths and interests. The testing experience is beneficial for all students, regardless of their plans after high school. It will help students prepare for the Michigan Merit Exam, which includes the ACT. The Michigan Merit Exam is required of all juniors.
Your student has been informed of the PLAN Test in their 10th grade English class. At that time, I handed out a flyer describing the test. A copy of that flyer is enclosed. If you have any questions, feel free to call me.
Test Date:
December 12th, 2007
Cost:
$10.00 – due at the time of the test
Checks can be made out to MCE
How to Register:
Sign up in the Guidance Office
Results should be back sometime in January.
