PSAT cancelled for today?

[Anonymous]

At my school staff are being notified that due to College Board online issues, the online PSAT has been cancelled for today and will be rescheduled. We are told it is a nationwide issue.

Adding, I dont think this applies to schools doing the paper version. Online version is only affected.

Which school please? That will help as I don't know which version of the test my kid's school was offering.

It's all online now - no more paper. I am in FCPS and we had some issues, but the kids are in and testing.

FCPS as in Fairfax or Frederick? My kid is in Frederick and is supposed to be taking it today.

The test was supposed to start at 8 am at my school, and no word. Hopefully that means it is working.

My understanding from my kid’s private school is that there is a glitch that makes the Bluebook app not work on IOS devices that have been updated to IOS 17.

In our small private school setting, where kids’ iPad are managed by the school, we were able to find replacement devices for the students who had updated, but it was a scramble since notification about the issue came out from College Board after dismissal. But in a larger school with fewer resources I can see how delaying would make more sense.

This year’s PSAT had more choices of dates on which it could be administered so it’s probably not cancelled, just postponed.

So if they're on MacBooks or iPads, it could be a problem. FCPS has chromebooks and were able to get in eventually.

My kid's high school shared this message from Central Office. Sounds like all schools in MCPS stopped testing.

Due to the ongoing issues with the testing platform that is preventing many schools from accessing the test and the Bluebook App glitching even for students who were able to access the test, we are stopping all testing at this time. We will collaborate with schools to identify another testing date.
