October 2023 PSAT / NMSQT: SSD Accommodations
For the 2023-2024 school year the PSAT / NMSQT will be offered for any interested SFUSD students in 10th and 11th grade in the 2023-24 school year in mid-October 2023. The PSAT will be offered in one location at Lowell High School. High Schools will support students with registering in the fall when we are back in school.
UC/CSU and many other universities are no longer accepting SAT for consideration for admission and the PSAT is completely optional. If you have questions about whether the PSAT is right for you, please see your High School counselor. If the PSAT / NMSQT is offered on Wednesday, students that choose to participate will be given an excused absence.
