Direct answer: PSAT scores for the October 2025 administration are typically released in multiple batches in late October to mid-November, with most students seeing their results in their College Board accounts within 3–4 weeks after testing. Details and context
- Release cadence: The College Board commonly releases PSAT/NMSQT scores in several waves. For the October 2025 test, expect initial score reports to appear first, followed by additional batches in the ensuing days or weeks. Most students will have access by mid-November. If you took PSAT 10 or PSAT 8/9, the timing differs and is generally several weeks after the test date, with PSAT 10 results often landing in the 4–6 week window after testing.
- How to view scores: Students typically log in to their College Board account to view PSAT results, and some schools may provide hard copies or school-day score reports. Notifications may come by email or through the school portal, depending on the district’s setup.
- Regional variations: Release dates can vary by region and testing administration type. Your exact date may depend on when your test occurred and your location. Check your College Board account and any communications from your school for the precise date.
- National Merit connection: For students aiming for National Merit consideration, be aware that the PSAT/NMSQT is the path for eligibility, and scores that qualify for scholarship consideration are those reported in the PSAT/NMSQT reporting window. The timing of those qualifying scores aligns with the standard PSAT score release cadence.
What you can do now
- Log in to your College Board account regularly in the coming days to see when your score becomes available. If you don’t see anything yet, check with your school counselor for any district-specific release notes.
- If your results are delayed beyond the typical window, contact your school or the College Board support to confirm there are no issues with your test record.
If you’d like, share your testing date and region, and I can tailor the expected release window more precisely based on typical patterns for your area.
