Hey guys, I took the PSAT recently and I'm a little bit anxious about my results. How long does it usually take for scores to come out, and where can I find them once they're released?
Hey! I know waiting for your PSAT results can be nerve-wracking, but don't worry, they'll be released soon. Typically, PSAT scores are available online about 2 to 3 weeks after you take the test. You'll be able to view your scores through the College Board website, which is the organization that administers the PSAT.
To access your scores, you should create a College Board account if you haven't done so already. Once your scores are available, you'll be able to find them under the "My Scores" section of your account. Additionally, your school counselor might also receive your PSAT results around the same time, so you may want to check in with them for updates.
As a reminder, the PSAT is a great opportunity to practice for the SAT and potentially qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program if you're a junior. However, your PSAT score is not a direct factor in your college admissions, so don't stress too much about the outcome. Instead, use the results as a way to identify strengths and areas for improvement before you take the SAT. Good luck!
