Just took the PSAT last month and the anxious waiting game has begun. Any veterans of this process out there who can tell me more? Just how long does it typically take to get PSAT scores back?
The College Board, which administers the PSAT, typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks to release the scores. This generally means that if you took the test in October, you should expect to receive your scores sometime in early to mid-November.
Remember that you will not receive your scores in the mail -- you'll have to log into the College Board website to view them. They will remain on your account until the end of your high school career.
Once released, you might also receive an email notification from the College Board, so keep an eye out in your inbox. If you use the Bluebook™ app, you may also get a notification there.
Good luck! It's amazing that you're already thinking about college and taking the PSAT so seriously. Don't forget to use your scores to help guide your study plan for the actual SAT!
