TEST DATES

Typically offered to juniors, the PSAT may be offered to freshmen and sophomores as well, according to school policy. For further information, check with your school counselor. 

PSAT scores for the fall test are typically not released until December. Some schools return a physical copy of each student’s test and score report (containing scores, student answers, and the correct answers to each question). Everyone has online access to this information, but you made need to ask your school counselor or College Board [(866) 756-7346] for login credentials. In some cases, you may have two accounts — one for your PSAT(s) and one for the SAT if you already have created one.  

A few schools in Charlotte and surrounding areas no longer offer the PSAT to juniors (including many in Union County) and instead offer a free SAT to juniors in the spring. See your counselor for details.

Some schools and school districts offer SAT test administrations only for their students on a specific school day. Check with your counselor for details.

There are additional fees for late registration, standby testing, or other special services.

Questions? Call the College Board at (866) 756-7346 or look at the College Board website.  

The Question and Answer Service (QAS), for a fee of $18, provides a copy of the test, correct answers, and student answers through your online account.  Available only for national October, March, and May tests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you are taking a test during one of those months. May be purchased when registering or up to 5 months after the test through your online account or by snail mail.
