PSAT 8/9 Scores
Some scores will be released later, for reasons that may include student participation in the extended PSAT testing window, the accommodated testing windows, the SAT makeup testing date(s), late receipt of answer sheets, missing information on the answer sheet, or other exceptional conditions that require additional attention. Scores for these students will be released daily as they become available.

CCS schools and staff DO NOT have access to student usernames and passwords on College Board. If you forget this information, you will have to contact College Board yourself to retrieve this information.
