How Can I Get a Copy of My Son's PSAT Scores?
The PSAT or Preliminary SAT test provides practice for the SAT test required by many colleges. This test is usually given in October and results are mailed to the students' school in December. The PSAT scores are not shared with any colleges but can be a general guide for what colleges the student may want to apply to for admission. Reviewing the test scores and the questions missed will improve the actual SAT score. The PSAT score is also required in order to enter the competition for the National Merit Scholarship Program.
Instructions
Getting PSAT Scores
1. Two copies of the PSAT are mailed to the students' school. One copy is distributed to the student and the other is kept on file at the school. Contact the school office or district office to inquire about getting a copy of the scores. If the school will not provide the entire paper score report, ask for the access code printed on the front of the report.
2. Access the college quickstart section of the website collegeboard.com with the student's account information and access code. The student may need to create an account if he has not already done so. The access code was printed on the front of the paper copy of the score report. The complete score report is available online.
3. If the school or district is unable to provide a copy of the scores or the access code, contact the PSAT/ NMSQT office directly to request a copy. The address is PSAT/NMSQT Office, P.O. Box 6720, Princeton, NJ 08541-6720. Additional contact information is available on the website collegeboard.com.
