On December 12, students 13 years old and over who provided their email address on their PSAT/NMSQT answer sheet will receive an email reminder from us explaining where and how to view their scores. Students can set up a free College Board account at any time. If a student doesn't see their scores when they log in, they may need to enter an access code. You can find your students' access codes in the roster report in the K-12 score reporting portal.
