San Joaquin Memorial’s All-School Test Day is Back!
Date: Tuesday, January 26, 2021

College admissions test prep is and always has been a priority at SJM. We want to make sure that our students are test-ready and eligible for early scholarship and college admission opportunities.

All SJM juniors will take the nationally distributed PSAT/NMSQT (Practice SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) on campus on January 26.
Sophomores and freshmen will take a practice ACT online through Albert.io.
Seniors will have the day off. (It would be a great time to do a virtual college visit.)
More details will come the first week back to school in January.

SAT/ACT Math Prep for Winter Break
To support our students in preparing for the practice SAT and ACT, the SJM math department has posted SAT/ACT math prep to the Class of 2022, 2023 and 2024 Google Classrooms. Students will use the grade-level codes found in their Google Classroom to access math test prep through Albert.io. Thank you math department!   Click here to download instructions on how to access the test prep.
