PSAT/NMSQT SCORES OUT DEC 6th:

​Your Teen’s PSAT/NMSQT Scores Are on Their Way!

Test scores are an important competent of the overall college application. Counselors are often asked “what can my student be doing now to prepare for the college application process?”
The answer is to practice for a future PSAT or the SAT using your PSAT score report and the steps below:

Official SAT Practice helps students focus on exactly what they need to work on most. There are two ways to get personalized practice:
Students can link their College Board and Khan Academy accounts to send their scores from the PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, PSAT 8/9, or SAT; or, if students don't have scores to share, they can take diagnostic quizzes.

Option A: Students Share Their Test Results
Students can use their browser and type in satpractice.org to share their scores and get a personalized SAT study plan based on results from the PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, PSAT 8/9, or SAT.
How Students Link Their College Board and Khan Academy Accounts:
  1. Go to satpractice.org. Create an account on Khan Academy or sign in to their existing account.
  2. When prompted, agree to link their Khan Academy and College Board accounts.
  3. Send their scores.



Option B: Students Can Take Diagnostic Quizzes
If students don't have PSAT scores to share, they can still get personalized practice at satpractice.org by taking a few short quizzes on the site.
