PSAT Scores

If you took the PSAT in October, your scores are now available.  You should have received an e-mail from CollegeBoard notifying you that your scores are accessible online.  For the first time the PSAT scores are all online instead of receiving paper score reports.  Even if you didn't receive an e-mail from CollegeBoard you can still access your scores.

Go to the CollegeBoard website and select PSAT.  (Or follow this link to access it directly.)
https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt-psat-10?navid=gh-pn

Once you are on the website in the middle of the page it will have an area for getting your scores.  If you already have an account, you can sign in using your username and password.  For many of you, you may not have an account yet so you will need to create one.  Next to the "Sign In" button there is a "Sign Up" spot - select that and then create your account.

After doing that you will be able to access your scores.

Now that you have your scores, you may be wondering what they mean.  This link can help give you information to better understand your scores.

There is also a video available on the PSAT page: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt-psat-10?navid=gh-pn

One of the best parts about the PSAT is that CollegeBoard has partnered with Khan Academy to use your scores to make a personalized practice plan.  This is a fantastic option and I strongly encourage you to use it.  If you have questions about this FREE option you can visit the Khan Academy website at: https://www.khanacademy.org/sat

I had a few parents mention that it took them multiple attempts of accessing the website to be able to see the scores - for example some said that it said no scores were available, but after refreshing a few times the scores eventually showed up.  CollegeBoard was having some technical issues due to the high demand of people trying to view their scores.  I believe this is now worked out, but if you are having problems seeing your scores, please be patient and try again.

I hope your scores were what you were expecting (or perhaps even better).  If you have any questions don't hesitate to stop by and see me.
