All
BHS students take the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE) for
two days in April of their junior year. This exam is
required by the state of Illinois and consists of the ACT test
on Day 1 and the WorkKeys/state-developed tests on Day 2.
Results of this testing are recorded on each student's
transcript for colleges, scholarships, and future employers.
Students earn a score of either "Academic Warning, Does Not
Meet, Meets, or Exceeds." Those students who earn an
"Exceeds" in any of the four areas tested (Reading, Writing,
Math, Science) will receive a Prairie State Award.
