So I've recently taken the PSAT and I heard that you can check scores online. How do I go about doing that? Can I just log in somewhere, or do I need to create an account? If someone has already been through this process, some guidance would be great!
Hi there! I'm glad you're being proactive about checking your PSAT score. Yes, you can absolutely check your scores online. You'll need to log in to the College Board's website. If you haven't created an account yet, it's quite easy to set one up. You'll need some basic information like your name, school, and date of birth. Also, have your PSAT/NMSQT access code ready, which you can find on your PSAT paper score report or from your school's counseling office if you haven’t received the report yet.
Once you have set up your College Board account, your PSAT scores should be available under the 'My Scores' section. Additionally, on the dashboard, you can access detailed breakdowns of your score, which can be really helpful for identifying your strengths and any areas you need to focus on before the SAT. If you run into any trouble, your school's counseling office is also there to help you through the process. Best of luck as you continue on your path to college – keep up the great work!
