<p>We'd like to sign our daughter up for a prep class and they are filling pretty rapidly because the other schools have all given out the scores. Daughter's school doesn't offer a presentation.</p>
<p>It wouldn't only affect what we do IF ds were to make the NMSF cutoff. I seriously doubt he did, but it would be nice to know. The woman I spoke to at the CB was interesting in her script as she kept saying that it's all on the schools as they administer the test, which is why they get the score reports and not the individuals.</p>

I'd love to have D's scores, but frankly we're not going to do anything about colleges before January anyway, with all the holiday craziness. So I can just wait till the GC gives them to her in January. Let's have a few weeks of sanity before D starts feeling all the collegecollegecollege pressure again.

<p>Yeah, that's kinda how we're thinking, too. I mean, I'm dying to know, but that's just curiousity. We don't have a real substantive need for them. </p>
<p>We received an email today that officially says the scores will come out on Thursday, 12/18. OK, fine. I would have liked them sooner, but at least it's before Christmas.</p>
<p>So, I'm unclear ... for those of us whose schools will not give out the reports (for whatever reason)... is it possible to call Collegeboard and pay a fee to get them? Has anyone done this?</p>
<p>You can not call and get the scores for any amount of money at any time.</p>
<p>This process of getting the scores is ludicrous!</p>
<p>I don't understand why they don't do these scores the same way they do the SAT scores. Honestly, a score report isn't exactly the hardest thing to read or understand.</p>
<p>For those of you who've got scores, were the access codes or the actual College Board links anything identifiable so that someone could plug in their own kid's corresponding data and pop in? (Like the work around last year?)</p>
<p>I just logged onto my son's quickstart account with his access code and saw this information:</p>
<p>To view your detailed online score report and SAT study plan before February 1, you must enter the access code from your official paper score report. If you haven't received your report yet, ask your counselor when it will be handed out at your school. After February 1, you'll have automatic access to your online report and study plan.</p>

We know that. The whole point of the question was that many schools haven't given back score reports.</p>
<p>I looked at my son's access code and I can't find anything about it that would allow you figure out your own kid's code. </p>
<p>After I entered the access code, I logged out and then logged in directly off the main CB page, then I went to My Organizer, then the tab "My Tests", and now my son's PSAT test is their along with his SATs (it didn't look like that yesterday). But I assume that is all linked to first entering his PSAT access code on the previous log in. Something to try though.</p>
<p>The link for the test is there, but when clicked on it requires the access code.</p>
<p>Last year, some very smart students on this site found a work-around link and we all got the scores early. I was engaging in wishful thinking.</p>
<p>I did not have problem on online viewing 2008 PSAT report.</p>
<p>I signed on to son's quickstart account and click My online score report: 2008 results for critical readgin, mathematics and writing. </p>
<p>I did not enter any "access code". </p>
<p>My son took 2007 PSAT as sophomore. Does that make a difference? As of this morning, only 2007 score showed up. However I tried it again around 1:00 p.m. and got 2008 report.</p>
<p>Yay! Scores finally came in. S2 got a 208 which is a huge improvement over last year - so we're happy. Math mistakes were mostly careless. There may be some room to improve the writing score, but he could live with a score in the range he got. </p>
<p>So we went off to our school's naviance site and the scattergrams and all the college info had disappeared. If it's not back early next week, I'll be cross.</p>
<p>It IS crazy that I just found out my D will have to wait until January. We all know the scores are "out there". And I hate to be anxious because ... well ... what can we do now anyway ... nothing really happens until next year, right?</p>
<p>NO. Not so at all. I hope schools address this issue because we are in a TON of flux as we try to winnow down college choices. My D has already taken the SAT. So I'm looking in reverse. IF her PSAT was equal to her SAT...she's pretty much a lock as a finalist. So I'd REALLY like to know because it will help us in determining where we want to spend our focus as we visit and research colleges. And Winter Break is a GREAT time to spend working on that! (Since they're all so over homeworked and community serviced and leadership required and Summer assigned and A/P'd and overly tested and extra-activitied to DEATH in order to get into elite schools). What better time than during this rest period to contemplate, research, visit? We need all the time we can get as we expect next Summer to be just as busy as the school year and ... ED, EA, Int'l applications will pretty much need to be ready when school starts next year. </p>
<p>So...I LOVE to be opened minded. Can someone please tell me the "other side" of this coin? Is it because they want the kids focused on "finals" next week and worry they'll be elated or disappointed if they see their PSAT scores? Or, do they REALLY think we're so ignorant we can't decipher SAT and PSAT scores and the "secret meaning behind the numbers"? There just HAS to be some reasonable explanation. Do parent bombard the guidance counselors with questions and they don't want to be bothered before their holiday? </p>
<p>In my state...there is a school that offers a FULL RIDE to a National Merit Finalist. I don't think it's a school my D would be interested in attending, but...who knows? We might change our mind if we visit and knew it would be FREE. I don't have the money for the colleges my D likes. So I might want to try and convince her to consider one of these "free" schools instead And we have the data so that most of us can make a pretty educated guess as to the cut off numbers for our state. </p>
<p>So...what's up with the extension of the anticipation? I simply don't GET it.</p>
<p>DCHS, not working for me. I only see My Online Score Report: 2007</p>
<p>Congrats mathmom! That's great news.</p>
<p>My daughter had a Quickstart from 2007, too, so we can see the tab for the 2008 scores, but an access code is required to see them.</p>
<p>Congrats, mathmom!</p>
<p>DCHS. It's a catch 22. You have to have a PSAT score report code to GET a quick start account. And you have to have a quick start account to get your PSAT score report. So...you must have gotten an account with last year's report code...is that right? My D went to a school that didn't bother to explain the PSAT and the reason to take it in 10th grade, so she didn't do it so we don't have that account yet. Darn.</p>
<p>My D does have a Quickstart but we can't do anything with it for 2008.</p>
