You’ll access your PSAT score online through the College Board system. Here’s how to find it:
- Sign in to your College Board account at the official PSAT score portal. If you don’t have an account yet, you’ll need to create one using the same information you used for the PSAT registration. Once signed in, open your PSAT/NMSQT score report. The score report will show your scaled scores, section scores, and any cross-test or percentile data. If you don’t see your scores right away, check that your personal details (name, date of birth, gender) match your test records, and try again after updating your profile. If you’ve never linked your PSAT to a College Board account, you might need an access code provided by your counselor to view the scores online.
- If you receive a school-issued paper score report, it should arrive by the end of January, and your counselor can also provide you with an access code to view your online report. The paper report will include similar score details and interpretation guidance.
- If you tested on different dates within October, your score release dates may vary. You’ll typically get notified by email when scores are ready, and then you can view them online via your account or receive them through your school. If you’re unsure when your scores were released, contact your guidance counselor or check the PSAT scoring information page for the latest timelines.
What to do after viewing your scores:
- Review your overall PSAT score and the subsection scores to identify strengths and areas for improvement. Some students use PSAT results to plan review for the SAT and to qualify for scholarship programs or National Merit consideration in some years, depending on eligibility rules in your year and location.
- Consider exploring the online resources linked from your score report, including guidance on college readiness, career exploration, and next steps for standardized testing planning.
If you want, tell me your testing year and whether you tested in October 2024 or another date, and I’ll tailor the steps to your specific release timeline and help you locate the exact portal path.
