PSAT Study Guide

Students who want to apply to 4-year colleges should take at least one of the nationally recognized standardized tests called the ACT or SAT? Taking the PSAT will give you an idea of how you will perform on the SAT or ACT. Plus, CollegeBoard provides a breakdown of a student's results so that you can better prepare for the SAT or ACT.

NOTE:

• All SAT/ACT: tests must be completed by December for UC, CSU, & most other college admissions. 
• PSAT: for sophomores & juniors is October 16, 2019; 8am -12pm 
• SAT II tests no longer required, but are recommended for college admissions.

Additional Information:

• Still focus on academics! Grades do count in the senior year.

• Pay attention to the deadlines for all applications (admissions, housing, financial aid, scholarships etc...)

• Be sure to send your SAT, SAT Subject test and/or ACT scores to the colleges you're applying to:

  • The SAT link for sending scores is: www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/scores.html

  • The ACT link for sending scores is: www.act.org/aap/scores/index.html

• Many schools allow you to self-report your test scores. Know which schools allow you to self-report will save you money. All schools will ask for test score upon admittance.
