Months of waiting are about over for sophomores and juniors that took the PSAT exam in October as results from the PSAT/NMSQT are going to be available online starting Tuesday. Students that took the test will receive an email Monday afternoon the provides instructions on how to view PSAT/NMSQT score through the student’s College Board account. If a student does not have an account, one can be set up.

For juniors, a high score on the exam can qualify them for a National Merit Scholarship.

For sophomores such as Emily Thomas, PSAT test results will help be better prepared.

“I’m looking forward to getting my score back even though I don’t think I did very well,” Thomas said. “I’m excited to see what I need to work on and see how I could improve for next year.”
