PFT Test and SBAC Practice Sign-Ups


On Monday March 25th at 10 am (to 12 pm), Visions will host an SBAC Interim Practice Assessment (for grades 3-8 and 11) at Grace Church in Jackson. This is a chance for your students to practice with the SBAC assessments, at the site they will be testing, before the actual test dates. The interim assessments are shorter in duration than the end of year tests, and you will receive student scores.

Studies show that students who practice the assessments have lower anxiety and higher test scores than students who don't.

On the same day we will be hosting the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) for grades 5, 7 and 9. Physical Fitness Testing will begin at 12:30.

Our Physical Fitness Test will consist of:

  • Height and weight measurements
  • 1 mile run
  • Push ups (untimed)
  • Trunk Lift
  • Curl-up/Sit-ups (untimed)
  • Shoulder Stretch

Here is a reference guide
Practicing these skills would help your student be more comfortable when the test arrives.
