PSAT, SAT & ACT

PSAT

Central Schools do not currently administer the PSAT for high school students. Students who are interested in taking the PSAT will need to start planning early since testing usually happens in October. Students who wish to register for the PSAT will need to contact a local high school and make arrangements with the testing coordinator. Use the School Search tool to find a local school.  

SAT Registration | ACT Registration

The UC (University of California) system, CSU (California State University)system, and many private colleges are not requiring the SAT or ACT for admission. Some colleges may use scores for placement and some scholarships may request scores with applications. Students should research whether the SAT or ACT will benefit them.
