• The PSAT is given at no cost to 10th and 11th grade students in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. This test consists of critical reading, mathematics, and writing sections, and has the same formats, directions, sample questions, and question types as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), which many students take as a college entrance examination. The PSAT provides excellent preparation for taking the SAT; in addition, schools use the results to aid instructional and program planning.

     

    ​Testing accommodations are only given to those students who have been approved through the College Board. The deadline to apply for accommodations for the PSAT is August 26, 2024.

     

    Please make every effort to have your child at school and on time the day of testing so that we may begin promptly in the morning. It is better to encourage your child to be relaxed, rather than to encourage additional drill or extra study at the last minute. 

     

    Remember, your child will need to bring to school their charged CMS Chromebook, two No. 2 pencils, a calculator, and a novel the day of testing. Cell phones and personal electronic devices are not allowed in testing rooms.

How to Access Your Scores

  • If you provided your email address on your answer sheet on test day, you'll receive an email notifying you of when your scores are available. The email will have a unique access code that will connect you to your scores online. If you haven't already done so, you'll be asked to set up a free College Board account before you can view your scores.

     

    If you didn’t provide an email address on your answer sheet on test day, you can still access your scores online at studentscores.collegeboard.org. If you haven't already done so, you'll be asked to set up a free College Board account before you can view your scores.
