I need more information about the PSAT and SAT.
Talk with your advisor about your child's plans for post-secondary life and if that includes going to college. If so, the SAT is a test colleges use to make admissions decisions. All PSAT tests (PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT10, and PSAT 8/9) are practice opportunities for the SAT.

How MANY CREDITS IS THE 4Cs worth?
Each semester, the 4Cs is worth .125 credits or .25 credits each year. By the end of senior year, each student will have earned 1.0 credit for the 4Cs courses.
HOW should my student accomplish the paper requirement?
Ideally, your child will already be completing this task in another course. For example, your child may write a research paper for their English class with a social studies or science topic. This could be submitted as the required artifact. Maybe your child completed a science experiment this year. If they did not write a report on their research and experiment, have them write a report.
You may also consider having your child revise and edit a paper they wrote previously in the same school year to meet the "evidence-based" requirement.
