It offers students the opportunity to experience a college readiness exam and helps identify those who may benefit from advanced coursework. The PSAT mirrors the SAT in structure, timing, and content, providing excellent practice while evaluating essential skills in Reading, Writing, and Math—key areas for success in college and beyond.

In a collaborative effort to broaden the reach of FCTC’s ELL/ESOL classes, and better meet the needs of St. Johns County School District students, families, employees, and the community, we would like to survey as many residents as we can to see if there is enough interest in adding evening ESOL classes to some of our district high schools.
