My DS (9th grade) took PSATs in his private school two months ago. But to date, no results yet. How long does it typically take to get scores? And how do they distribute them? Thanks!

They can sign on though the portal. It think DC scores may be today (we live elsewhere and it goes by state). Check their website.

If the school is in DC or MD, they posted today (you have to create an account). VA schools post tomorrow. We are a Va family in a DC school. We got the scores this am.

What is considered a good PSAT score? My sophomore got a 1280 and is unhappy. I don't know how to assess if this is a bad score or not, or how he might improve it.

They are available on 12/13. Your child can access them through their College Board account then.

this will help you understand the score, and the percentiles for 10th grade vs 11th

My sophomore got a 1220 and I think it was 93 rd or 94th, so her child is above that. Keep in mind, it was unprepped (and if your DC is like mine, she went with a horrible attitude because I made her take a “practice” test).

There is a lot of opportunity for growth between the PSAT and the SAT. Don't get discouraged. It is important to develop a plan - a way forward. There are many options that are sensitive to both time and finances. But, remember that PSAT/SAT is only one contribution to the application process. Other contributions include grades, but also a child's readiness.

I was just able to log in and see the score - 1300. Can't make heads or tails of what this means. It's for a 9th grader taking PSAT/NMSQT and seems to be a good score overall, though reading higher than math.

Yes that is a very good score for a 9th grader.
