PSAT for SFUSD students next Wednesday
The PSAT will be given in San Francisco Unified School District high schools next Wednesday, Oct. 15, during the school day. It's free to sophomores and $13-$15 (I've seen varied reports) for freshmen and juniors.
The PSAT can qualify students for National Merit Scholarship money, based on the junior year score (and the student's academic record). Taking it previously can make a big difference. Plus in the past it was given on a Saturday, which does not thrill a lot of kids, so the school-day scheduling will make lots of them happy. (And don't happy kids do better on tests? We'll see.)
Mayor Gavin Newsom's SF Promise project is funding the free tests for sophomores, plus some SAT prep too.
