PSAT Results and Kaplan Test Prep
The process to deliver PSAT results has changed with the
inception of the new 2015 PSAT exam given at Burlington High School on October 14th, 2015. Students will no longer receive a hard
copy of their score report which used to be mailed home. The score report will be available by accessing your college board
account. If you don't have a college board account please click here to create an account so you can access PSAT scores. Scores will be available to students on Thursday, January 7th.
For students that missed the PSAT, or would like to take another practice test, can enroll in a free practice SAT/ACT Combo test that will be offered at BHS on January 16th.
Please click here for registration information.
Kaplan test prep also offers prep classes at a reduced rate
for Burlington High School
On Monday January 11th during period 8 sophomores and juniors will report
to the auditorium and the Guidance Department will explain how to interpret
PSAT results.
