Accessing & Interpreting Scores

Performance Level Descriptors

Policy level descriptors are general statements across grades and content areas indicating the expected level of achievement or rigor for each level. For PSAT/SAT, Colorado adopted four levels of achievement named consistently with the Colorado Measures of Academic Success but with text specific to high school. They address both academic expectations, as well as provide practical implications for future coursework.

Level 4 - Exceeded Expectations

Students performing at this level exceed academic expectations for the knowledge, skills and practices known to be most relevant for success in college and careers contained in the assessed high school Colorado Academic Standards.

Students are very likely to engage successfully in entry-level, credit-bearing courses.

Level 3* - Met Expectations

Students performing at this level meet the academic expectations for the knowledge, skills and practices known to be most relevant for success in college and careers contained in the assessed high school Colorado Academic Standards.

Students are likely to engage successfully in entry-level, credit-bearing courses.

Level 2 - Approached Expectations

Students performing at this level approach the academic expectations for the knowledge, skills and practices known to be most relevant for success in college and careers contained in the assessed high school Colorado Academic Standards.

With continued coursework, students are likely to engage successfully in entry-level, credit-bearing courses.

Level 1 - Did Not Yet Meet Expectations

Students performing at this level may minimally approach the academic expectations for the knowledge, skills and practices known to be most relevant for success in college and careers contained in the assessed high school Colorado Academic Standards.

With significant additional coursework, students may engage successfully in entry-level, credit-bearing courses.

* Indicates readiness for credit-bearing college entry coursework and career

Student Scores and Reports

SAT & PSAT student score reports are typically available in early June by logging into the CollegeBoard’s student score reporting portal. To access the score reporting portal, create a CollegeBoard student account, or if you already have one, just sign in.

Online student score reports give students an understanding beyond the numbers and provide a detailed breakdown of their performance. Score reports provide:

Performance summaries for each section of the test
Insight into strengths and weaknesses with results grouped by content area, skillset, and level of difficulty
Percentiles to see how student results compare with those of other students like them
