Get your PSAT 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.

**DO NOT FORGET YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD** It is very important you write down this information. This account will house your PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10 and SAT scores until after you graduate. 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. It is NOT recommended you make separate accounts if you forget this login information, as scores will be delayed/missing based on multiple accounts.
If you're interested in SAT practice, please see the document below to link your PSAT score with Khan Academy.
