Practice SAT (PSAT):
Practice SAT (PSAT): The PSATs assess the same skills and knowledge as the SAT. A suggested test schedule is :
Students take the PSAT in October of SOPHOMORE AND JUNIOR years to practice and prepare.
Students take the SAT or ACT in the SPRING OF JUNIOR year as a college entrance exam.
Students take SAT or ACT again in the FALL OF SENIOR year to improve their scores.
The PSAT provides students an opportunity to be included on college mailing lists in order to receive information about majors and colleges that meet the interests they disclose. Juniors are encouraged to sit for the PSAT because it is also the National Merit Scholar Qualifying Test (NMSQT) used for the selection of National Merit Scholars.
The PSAT is only offered once per year, during the month of October. Students must register and pay for the PSAT through APTS, a third-party provider, selected for this purpose by Lenape Valley Regional High School. Please contact your guidance counselor for details about registering and paying for the PSAT.

Opportunities for College Credit:
Concurrent
Lenape Valley Regional High School has articulated with colleges and universities to allow for certain high school courses to be offered in a concurrent format. In reviewing Lenape Valley’s curricula and instructors, the college or university has certified that the course work and rigor of the high school courses match those of college level courses. Students enrolled in courses identified as concurrent have the option to earn college credit by simultaneously enrolling through the college or university for the course being taught at the high school. Currently, Lenape Valley has concurrent relationships with Sussex County Community College, Syracuse University, and Rider University. Courses offered concurrently are identified in the course description. Review the Program of Studies on the Registration and Scheduling Tab for more information about concurrent courses offered at LVHS.
Jump Start / Challenger
Opportunities to enroll in college courses are also offered by CCM & SCCC, but are not affiliated specifically with Lenape Valley. This means that students will earn credits on a community college transcript, but the credits will not transfer to Lenape Valley. The college course may be considered as satisfying prerequisites so as to allow Lenape Valley students to accelerate their studies in high school. For example, a student who has enrolled in Spanish 1 as a Freshman at Lenape Valley may enroll in Spanish 2 at the community college and then enroll in Spanish 3 during their sophomore year. While the student will not receive credit at Lenape Valley, this option will enable the student to earn college credits and accelerate their course sequence at LVHS. Interested students should apply directly to the community college and submit a college transcript to Lenape Valley upon completion of the course. These courses may additionally transfer to future colleges.

Advanced Placement
The College Board hosts Advanced Placement (AP) courses , which are college-level classes that you take while you are still completing your high school degree. The courses will follow the same schedule as your high school. AP courses prepare students for AP ® exams, which are college-level exams on specific subjects and are administered in May upon the completion of an AP course taken at a student's high school. At many colleges and universities, a high enough score will earn the student college credit. In some instances, earning college credit can mean an overall lower college tuition bill. Review the Program of Studies on the Registration and Scheduling Tab for more information about AP courses offered at LVHS.
