For more information about The First Tee National Schools Program, visit Program presented During the August 19 AISD Board of Education meeting, Dr. Linda Diane G. Patin, AISD program director of gifted and talented, gave a presentation on the Preliminary Scholastic Achievement Test (PSAT). She discussed how students who take the PSAT improve their SAT scores. A major component of the Aldine-College Board Initiative is to encourage tenth-grade students to take the PSAT as a practice test. They receive feedback on their strengths and weaknesses in the three areas the test measures: critical thinking, math problem-solving skills and writing skills. Students can then focus on preparation on those areas that could most benefit from additional study or practice. The students are encouraged as eleventh-graders. As eleventh-graders, the students can enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSQT). Students who take the PSAT not only get to go online and receive feedback, they also have access to My College QuickStart, a free, personalized college and career planning kit. Dr. Patin showed data indicating how students who took the PSAT fared far better than those that did not. The district goal is to increase the number of students taking the PSAT as tenth- and eleventh-graders to help them increase their test scores and scholarship opportunities. For more information about the PSAT/NMSQT and My College QuickStart, visit
