To see your PSAT scores, you’ll use your College Board / BigFuture School access, not your school’s grade portal.

How to see PSAT scores (step‑by‑step)

1. Figure out how your scores were delivered

Most students in 2024–2025 can see PSAT scores in one (or both) of these ways.

  • Through a College Board / BigFuture account in a browser
  • Through the BigFuture School mobile app or a PDF from your counselor

Ask your counselor how your school releases scores if you’re not sure.

2. Check online with a College Board account

Use this route if your school told you to “log into College Board” or you’ve used College Board before (for AP, SAT, etc.).

  1. Go to the student scores site (College Board’s PSAT/SAT score portal).
  1. Sign in with your existing College Board account (same email and password you used for AP/SAT, if any).
  1. If you do not have an account, create one with:
    • Your legal name
    • Date of birth
    • Email and basic info
  1. After signing in, look for:
    • A dashboard showing recent tests
    • A link like “PSAT/NMSQT” or “PSAT 8/9 Scores” or “View score report”

Highlight: You should see an online score report with total score plus Reading & Writing and Math section scores once your scores are released.

If you don’t see scores right away:

  • Use the “Matching Tool” (a link on the dashboard in the PSAT score video instructions) to update your info so the system can match your test record.
  • If you were emailed an access code , choose the option like “Get my scores” and enter your test info and the code when prompted.

3. Use the BigFuture School app or counselor PDF

Many students now get PSAT info directly on their phones.

  • BigFuture School app:
    • Download the app (if your school participates).
    • College Board usually texts you when scores are ready.
    • Log in with the phone number / info they used and you’ll see your PSAT scores and related tools.
  • PDF from your school:
    • Some schools download a PDF score report and give it to students or email it.
* If you can’t get online scores, ask your counselor if they have the PDF copy for you.

4. If you can’t access your PSAT scores

If you’ve followed the steps and still can’t see anything, try these common fixes.

  • Double‑check that:
    • Your name and date of birth in your account match what you used on test day.
    • You’re using the same email you wrote on your PSAT answer sheet.
  • Use “Forgot username/password” instead of creating a second account. Creating a duplicate account can block access to scores.
  • In the dashboard, scroll down to PSAT/NMSQT and click “Getting scores” or similar links; some students only see scores after using links on that page.
  • If you received an access code by email or from your counselor, enter it in the “Get my scores” / “I can supply my test information” section.
  • If nothing works, contact College Board support and ask for help with logging in or matching your test record (not for scores over the phone, which can involve an extra fee).

5. What you’ll see once inside

Your PSAT report gives more than just a single number.

  • Total score and two section scores: Reading and Writing and Math.
  • Information about score ranges , skill areas (like Problem Solving & Data Analysis, Geometry & Trigonometry), and how ready you are for future SAT testing.
  • Links to planning tools, college info, and sometimes scholarship or career exploration features.

TL;DR:
Use your College Board / BigFuture account or app , log in at the student scores portal or in BigFuture School, and if scores don’t appear, use the matching tools, access code, or ask your counselor for a PDF or help.
