Mrs. Stephanie Teri is the Testing Coordinator at James Monroe. In August, the Work Keys Business Writing test was offered to students in Grade 11 who still needed to meet their Writing SOL graduation requirement. This test is a state-approved SOL substitute test that may give students credit towards their Writing SOL. In September, we will offer the Work Keys Business Writing test to students enrolled in English 10.
PSAT: Every student in Grades 10 and 11 will have the opportunity to take the PSAT on Tuesday, October 29, 2024. The fee for this test will be paid for by FCPS, and the test will be administered at school. Students must register with Mrs. Teri by September 6 to be eligible to take this test.
AP Exams: Information was sent home to all Advanced Placement students about the AP exams. Students often benefit from taking the AP exams since most colleges use the scores to award college credit. Directions on how to register and pay for the exams were included in the flyer. Our first in-school fee collection day will be September 25, during lunch waves. To be eligible to test, the student must pay a minimum deposit of $40 for the exam prior to November 1. The total cost of each exam is $99. Students wanting to register or needing more information should see Mrs. Teri.
ASVAB CEP Military Entrance Exam: The ASVAB will be administered on November 6. This test is a free, non-obligation, assessment that includes a Career Exploration Program. This program allows students to learn about a variety of career fields whether they are interested in pursuing post-secondary education, work-based learning, or the military. Students who are interested in taking the ASVAB should sign up in the Counseling office or with Mrs. Teri in Room 108.
