How to Receive PSAT Scores

The PSATs are a practice exam for students preparing to take the SATs. The test is cosponsored by the College Board and by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. If a student takes the PSATs by their third year in high school, they may be able to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship. A student's PSAT score report will let them know whether they have qualified for the scholarship and will also give them a better idea of their strengths and weaknesses for the SAT college entrance exam.
