On Wednesday, October 11th, LHS will hold its Annual Testing Day. To help students and parents plan, we want to share some additional information on the logistics of the day. Like our final exam schedule, if your students' Academic Final Forms are complete they may leave or be picked up after their testing session is over. Lunch will be provided for students eating at school. Students who stay at school after their testing session is complete will have a supervised study hall in the cafeteria until the buses depart at 2:25.

ASVAB -- Some 11th graders and Some 12th graders
What is the ASVAB?
The ASVAB is designed to give students information about their current skills and interests. This information is useful for educational planning and career exploration, helping students be successful in career options they would enjoy. While this test is used by the Armed Forces, it is designed to assist anyone seeking guidance in the military or civilian sector.
LOCAL ACT -- Some 11th graders (based on course enrollment)
What is the Local ACT?
This test is designed to give students an accurate assessment of where they currently stand in relation to taking the official ACT test. Results of these tests are not sent to colleges, but are extremely valuable in determining strengths and areas of improvements prior to taking the ACT. These results are also beneficial in planning future courses and show areas of interest relating to college and/or career planning.
For more information about the ACT go to: www.act.org
Lebanon High School is providing the Local ACT. You DO NOT have to register on the ACT website for this date. These results are only for planning and projection purposes. Students may register on the ACT Website to take the ACT on any National Test Day. Results will be forwarded to LHS and the colleges of your choice. All Juniors enrolled at Lebanon are automatically registered for the ACT on February 28, 2023 at LHS. There is no charge for this test.
PSAT - Some 10th graders and Some 11th graders (based on course enrollment) (MUST BRING FULLY CHARGED CHROMEBOOKS)
What is the PSAT?
The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a program cosponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). It's a standardized test providing first hand practice for the SAT®. It also gives you a chance to enter NMSC scholarship programs and gain access to college and career planning tools. The scores are official for 11th graders. It is a practice test for 10th graders which better prepares students to take the test as 11th graders.
For more information about the PSAT go to: www.collegeboard.org
Lebanon High School is providing the PSAT for our students. You DO NOT have to register for this test.
Pre-ACT -- 9th graders and Some 10th graders (based on course enrollment)
This test is an assessment tool providing information on a student’s path towards college and career readiness standards as measured by the ACT. This data can help students, parents, and school personnel plan future curriculum choices and learning paths to best address a student’s individual needs and goals.
** Please make every effort to be at school on Testing Day, NO MAKE-UP WILL BE AVAILABLE. **
