水果派 uses the Next Generation Accuplacer assessment to determine whether a student is eligible for PSEO. Students will test in both Reading and Math to determine which courses they should be placed in.
**NOTE: Students may be exempt based on previous test scores, ACT, MCA or GPA. We will send you a checklist to notify you whether or not you need to take the Accuplacer.
Sophomores
To be considered for PSEO as a Sophomore, students must pass the 8th grade Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) in Reading to meet standards with a score of 850 or higher. Submitted MCA scores are required to complete the PSEO application. Homeschool students must take the Accuplacer and meet the college requirements for PSEO to participate as a sophomore.
