Hey guys, a bit stressed right now. I took the PSAT a while ago, and I have no idea where or how to find my score. Could someone help in guiding me through the process? Thanks in advance!
No need to stress, finding your PSAT score is actually a straightforward process!
Your PSAT scores will be available through the College Board website. They typically get released about 6-8 weeks after you take the test, so if it hasn't been that long yet, your scores probably aren't available.
To find your scores, first, go to the College Board's website and log into your account. If you don't have one yet, you'll need to create one. After logging in, you should see a dashboard and one of the options will be "PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, & PSAT 8/9 scores." Click on that.
This will take you to a page where you will see your scores (if they are available). Keep in mind that PSAT scores range from 320 to 1520. It's important to remember that a PSAT score isn't a perfect predictor of your SAT score, due to differences in test structure and difficulty level. But it can give you a rough idea of how you'd perform on the SAT.
If you're not seeing your scores, and it's been at least 8 weeks since your test date, it's a good idea to get in touch with College Board directly. They'll be able to provide more insight into why you can't see your scores. But firstly, check with your school counselor to ensure there were no issues with your test administration or scoring.
Remember, this is just a practice test. It's a valuable tool for understanding where you stand and where you can improve, but it's not something that colleges will ever see. So breathe easy!
