I'm taking the PSAT soon and I'm just trying to mentally prepare for the whole process. Any advice on how to see my PSAT scores after I take it?
You'll be able to find your PSAT scores online through the College Board's website. To see them, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Visit the College Board website and log in to your account. Make sure to use the account you created when you signed up for the PSAT.
2. Once you're logged in, navigate to the "My Scores" page. There should be a tab or menu that includes this option.
3. If your scores are available, they should appear on this page. Sometimes there's a delay in score posting, so if they're not there yet, don't worry — just keep checking back.
The scores should include the total score, your breakdown scores for reading and writings skills, and the math portion, along with your percentile ranking. This will provide an early indication of how well you're set to perform in the SAT.
Just remember, the PSAT is primarily used as a practice tool for the SAT, so don't stress too much over your score! Instead, use it as a guide to identify areas you may need to work on before the SAT.
