PSAT and SAT

Chief Sealth is getting ready to administer the PSAT and SAT. The PSAT provides valuable experience for the SAT and helps students identify their academic strengths and weaknesses. SAT scores can improve college applications, open up scholarship opportunities, and provide a measurement of college readiness.

Below are the scheduled dates for all juniors and seniors. Students have already been registered. Please note your child’s exam and date.

Test	Grade	Groups and Dates
PSAT-NMSQT	11th graders only	Tuesday October 13, 2026: A – L (8:45-12:50) Thursday, October 15, 2026: M – Z (8:45-12:50) Auditorium
PSAT-NMSQT make-up	11th graders only	Friday, October 16 (8:45-12:50) Auditorium
SAT	12th graders only	Tuesday October 20, 2026: A – L (8:45-1:30)) Thursday, October 22, 2026: M – Z (8:45-1:30) Auditorium
SAT make-up	12th graders only	Tuesday, October 27 (8:45-1:30) Auditorium

Please note: If your child requires accommodations according to their student support plan IEP/504, I need the following as soon as possible to receive the accommodations from the College Board. Only accommodations approved by the College Board in advance are permitted for the SAT and the PSAT/NMSQT.

For students who have previously taken a College Board exam like the PSAT in their junior year with Seattle Public Schools, previous accommodations carry over and they do not need to make the request again, unless their 504/IEP plans have changed OR a request has been made to submit it again.   If changes have occurred, a parent or guardian must submit the consent form to the school to begin the approval process.   

Information on the testing site locations at Chief Sealth will be coming soon. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me by email or by phone at 206-252-8573.
