ACT, SAT, PSAT TSI, not to mention, EOC....there are quite a few tests that students take in high school to prepare and assess them for college readiness.
Students can log into their College Board accounts by going to:https://studentscores.collegeboard.org/home.
They should click Add Scores. In the Matching Tool, it is essential that the information in their account matches what they entered on their answer sheet. For example, if they put “Elizabeth” on their answer sheet and “Beth” in their account, their scores will not load. If they need to change their name, they must call Customer Service. All other changes can be made right in their account.
If that still doesn’t populate the scores, the student will be prompted to indicate which test they’re missing and put in their unique access code to assist the match. Students must click on 2015 score administration. If they are selecting 2016, it will not register for the fall PSAT.
If you are having trouble accessing the student account with College Board, you can call their help center at 866-433-7728.

PSAT Test Scores and Understanding College Admissions Testing
We recommend students take both the ACT and SAT during their Junior year so they can compare scores and see which test is a best fit for them. We encourage students to choose the test on which they scored higher and felt confident, then do some test prep, and retake that exam.
For a comparison of PSAT, SAT, and ACT scores check out the comparison chart HERE on More Than a Teacher's resource page.
