Each fall, sophomores and juniors have the opportunity to take the PSAT/NMSQT reasoning skills assessment on campus. This prepares them for efficient college admission. Seniors take a nationally recognized college readiness assessment prior to graduation. Data from the ACT—the most common assessment taken by PCA students—indicates that PCA’s most recent graduates scored well above the state and national averages in each of the four areas tested.
