What time do PSAT scores come out during the day?

As the title suggests, I'm on edge waiting for my PSAT scores to drop. Does anyone know what time they typically release them? Is it early morning, or do I have to wait until the afternoon? Just trying to plan my freak out session accordingly lol.

Hey there! It's completely normal to feel a bit on edge about waiting for your PSAT scores – remember, many students are in the same boat as you. Unfortunately, the College Board generally doesn't announce any universal time when scores will be released. They can sometimes even be released in waves, starting in the early morning, with the process continuing throughout the day.

A good practice is to check your College Board account periodically starting from around 8 AM Eastern Time on the day scores are set to be released. If they're not there right away, don't stress! Sometimes the servers experience high traffic and it could take a little while. Moreover, your school might receive the scores a bit earlier and they might post them or email them to you. So, if you don't see your scores online right away, you might also want to check with your school's guidance office.

Make sure you also have your College Board login details handy to avoid any last-minute hitches. And hey, try to take it easy - the waiting is the hardest part, but your score is just one piece of your larger academic journey!

Finally, keep in mind that scores aren't all released on the same day. The release dates are determined by logistics - namely where you took the test and when the College Board received your answers for scoring - not your performance. So, if you have friends who have already gotten their results and you haven't, don't panic!

If you'd like more information on how to understand your scores and what to do with them once you have them, I'd check out this blog post from CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-understand-and-use-your-psat-results/

Good luck - fingers crossed you have a high score coming your way!
