Preparing Students for Life after Graduation

Postsecondary Preparation Exams

9th Grade

PSAT 8/9 (October)

Wylie ISD students take a variety of tests to prepare them for life after high school. These exams are offered during the school day. By performing well on these exams, students increase their chances of getting into the college of their choice or preparing for a career in the United States Armed Forces.

PSAT 8/9 – The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test for 8th and 9th graders (PSAT 8/9) is the first step in preparing for the SAT. It allows students, parents, and teachers to gain an initial look at how well a student is prepared for college.

PSAT - The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) is a full-length practice test for the SAT for 10th and 11th graders. Scores and test items are reflective of those on the SAT. The test also serves as the initial stage for the National Merit Scholarship competition, which awards 11th grade test-takers with exceptionally high scores scholastic recognition and scholarship money.

ASVAB – The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is an optional, military-sponsored, aptitude test offered to 10th-12th grade students. The ASVAB includes traditional, school-based sections, such reading, writing, science, and mathematics, while also including technical sections covering electronics and mechanics. The results from the test are used to recommend both civilian and military jobs to students in accordance with their aptitude profile. At the military level, the results from the ASVAB are used as a factor in signing bonuses and recruitment for specialized fields.

SAT School Day – The SAT School Day is an opportunity for all juniors to take the SAT at their home campus during the school day at no charge to the students, preventing cost or travel from being an issue to student success. A student’s SAT score can impact their college admissions decision and scholarship opportunities at many colleges and universities.

TSI - The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a test meant to measure the mathematics and reading level of incoming college freshmen or dual-credit students. The TSI is offered by both two and four-year colleges for those students that do not already have qualifying SAT or ACT scores.

Academic Guidance

Wylie ISD Academic Guidance Counselors will meet annually with students to discuss their high school graduation plan and options for students after high school. All WISD students have a 4-year graduation plan that shows the courses they are planning to take while in high school. WISD students will select a high school experience that matches their interest and will graduate with an endorsement in that area of interest. Counselors provide guidance on high school course offerings, earning college credit in high school, college admissions, scholarships, academic testing, military enrollment, financial aid, certifications, and much more! Parents and students should check the counseling web sites at their high school for resources and information about preparing for life after high school.
