All students that are enrolled in the school as grade 9 are expected to take the PSAT 8/9. You need to work within College board guidelines to test the student in the home. Also, keep in mind that grade 9 and 10 are not used in accountability calculations.-Tina Foote BAA/MDE Spring 2017

Making sure that students with disabilities can test with accommodations is important to us. Students who need to take the Michigan-provided SAT with Essay, PSAT 10, or PSAT 8/9 using nonstandard materials or other accommodations must be approved to do so by Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD).

All reasonable requests are considered.

Setting Up an Account

The SSD coordinator is responsible for applying for accommodations on behalf of students.

SSD coordinators need to access SSD Online to request accommodations for students. To access the system, they must:

Have a College Board professional account.

Complete the SSD Coordinator Form (.pdf/215.09 KB). If you have multiple SSD coordinators, they'll each need to fill out a separate form.

Receive an access code to link their SSD Online account to their College Board professional account (first time only). It may take a day or two to receive the access code.

You may begin submitting requests for accommodations once you receive your attending institution (AI) code and SSD Online access code and your school has established an SSD coordinator.

Accommodations Requests

We're using a streamlined process for requesting testing accommodations for students. We believe that school staff know their students best, and we wanted to cut down on the time and paperwork needed to submit an accommodations request.

The vast majority of students approved for testing accommodations at their school through a current Individualized Education Program or 504 plan have those same accommodations automatically approved for SAT School Day and the PSAT-related assessments.

All accommodations requests should be submitted through SSD Online. There are two types of requests:

College Board accommodations: Students with College Board‒approved accommodations will receive scores that can be used for college admissions. Once approved for accommodations, a student remains approved for all College Board tests, with limited exceptions.

State-allowed accommodations: These are state-specific accommodations defined by the MDE. Students, schools, and the state will receive scores; however, these scores aren't valid for college admission. The accommodations apply to state testing only and must be requested for each state administration.

Students who use accommodations for other state testing must still go through the SSD approval process for the Michigan-provided SAT with Essay, PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9 for 8th and 9th graders in spring 2019.

SAT College and Career Readiness Benchmarks Defined

Students are considered college- and career-ready when their SAT section scores meet both the Math and the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing benchmarks. It is important to note that college readiness is a continuum - students scoring below the SAT benchmarks can still be successful in college, especially with additional preparation and perseverance.

Students with an SAT Math section score that meets or exceeds the benchmark have a 75 percent chance of earning at least a C in first-semester, credit-bearing college courses in algebra, statistics, pre-calculus, or calculus.

Students with an SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW) section score that meets or exceeds the benchmark have a 75 percent chance of earning at least a C in first-semester, credit-bearing college courses in history, literature, social sciences, or writing classes.

Grade-Level Benchmarks Defined

Students who take the PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9 see grade-level benchmarks on their score reports. Grade-level benchmarks indicate whether students are on track for college and career readiness. They are based on expected student growth toward SAT benchmarks at each grade. Preliminary benchmarks were used for the 2015 PSAT/NMSQT and fall PSAT 8/9 scores.

Benchmark Indicators

Score reports use colors to show how students' section scores relate to the SAT or grade-level benchmark.

Green: The section score meets or exceeds the benchmark.

Yellow: The section score is within one year's academic growth of the benchmark.

Red: The section score is below the benchmark by more than one year's academic growth.
