SAT, PSAT, ACT & NMSQT
FUHSD is offering 3 different exams (PSAT/NMSQT, SAT and ACT) at various times throughout the year. It is important to note that none of these exams are required. Rather, each college/university has their own college admission requirements. Therefore, you are highly encouraged to review the admission requirements for any college/university that your student(s) are interested in applying to prior to registering for these exams.
Registration for these exams occurs a couple months prior to the exam and is non-refundable.
