Admission:
The scores from each of the subtests along with grades in English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies from the four quarters of the previous school year and the first quarter of the current school year are combined to create a total score. Parents may use the SchoolMAX Family Portal to view the grades used in the formula. (Click here for directions) The total score provides the basis for selection to the High School Science and Technology Program. Approximately 2,500 students take this examination, although over 3,000 applications are filed by the time the examination is administered. Nearly twenty percent of the students taking the examination are offered admission to the Program.
Prince George's County employees interested in being an examiner or proctor can access the application from the PGCPS website. (Click Employees - Click Administrative Bulletins - Click Testing Ofc)
