IMPORTANT: There have been significant changes to the 4-year college admission exam requirements (SAT/ACT). The Sonora Guidance Department wants to make sure all students are fully informed before deciding whether or not to register for the PSAT/NMSQT at Sonora High School. The PSAT is optional and only recommended if the SAT is needed or recommended for the student’s specific post-high school plans. Students and families should review the most updated admission requirements to decide if taking the PSAT is something that fits their academic goals. The College Board also provides two free practice PSAT tests that students may use for PSAT/SAT preparation. These practice exams can be found here: PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 Practice Tests | The College Board. Please note the following information:
-
The University of California (UC) system of schools will not consider SAT or ACT test scores when making admissions decisions or awarding scholarships. UC Exam Information
-
Effective March 2022, the California State University (CSU) system no longer uses ACT or SAT examinations in determining admission eligibility for all CSU campuses. If accepted to a CSU campus, ACT or SAT test scores can only be used as one of the measures to place students in the proper mathematics and English courses. CSU Exam Information
- For private colleges/universities and out-of-state public schools, please check the school’s website to verify, as most schools have moved to a testing optional policy.
