Hey guys, I took the PSAT last month and I'm kind of anxious about my scores. Does anyone know the general timeframe when these scores are released?
PSAT scores are typically released approximately six weeks after the test date. The exact release date can vary slightly from year to year, but you can anticipate receiving your scores in mid-December if you took the test in October.
The quickest way to access your scores is by logging into your College Board account online once they're made available—an email notification will be sent to you. If you used a student ID number instead of a social security number when you registered for the PSAT, your school might distribute the scores themselves.
Just remember, while these scores can provide some insight into your testing strengths and weaknesses, they are not reported to colleges. Their primary purpose is to prepare you for the SAT and to qualify U.S. students for the National Merit Scholarship Program. Best of luck!
