Achievement Testing |
The PSAT will be offered this year at N.E.C.A. in October. There is a cost for this exam (usually about $10.00). This test is intended for sophomores and juniors. By taking this test, juniors are automatically entered into the N.M.S.Q.T. (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) competition. We strongly recommend that students take the PSAT at least once before taking the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test). This provides students with the opportunity to practice taking this type of test, as well as providing him/her with the opportunity to measure personal strengths and weaknesses.
Registration forms for taking the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) or the ACT (American College Testing Program) are available from the Guidance Department. The SAT and ACT tests are intended for juniors and seniors. The results of these tests are used as part of the college application process. ACT and SAT tests may be taken as often as they are offered, but they are not administered at N.E.C.A. The school code for N.E.C.A. is 222106.
The ASVAB (Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery) is usually given once per academic year. Armed Services personnel administer ASVAB at N.E.C.A. This test measures aptitude in various careers and skills. It is available to sophomores, juniors, and seniors and it is free of charge. This test in no way obligates a student to the military. N.E.C.A. conducts Stanford Achievement and Otis Lennon Testing on alternate years for grade K-10. DAT (Differential Aptitude Test) is available for grades 11 & 12.
