College Readiness Benchmarks

College Readiness is assessed within Virginia Beach City Public Schools through the use of four nationally recognized standardized tests. In Grade 8, all students are administered the PSAT 8/9. In Grade 10, all students are administered the PSAT/NMSQT. Additionally, students have the opportunity to take either the ACT or SAT at any point throughout high school.
