PSAT RESULTS

To ensure that you get a digital copy of your test, students must complete the information sheet the day of the test correctly with their name, address, email address etc. Please also be sure to know the account information you create for collegeboard. This is something you will be using not only for the PSAT but also the SAT when you plan to take it. All of this is relevant information that will allow you to access your PSAT results.
