<p>I just received my box from the college board (haven't opened it yet). I would gather that other schools are getting them also. Hopefully they will trickle to the students by early next week</p>
<p>Do you know if they get to homeschooled students’ homes at about the same time?</p>
<p>S1’s high school won’t release their PSAT scores until mid-January. D’s high school did the same too. I sure wish we’d get them now instead of in a month.</p>
<p>My daughters school doesn’t release until January either. I didn’t really care in 10th grade but this year I want to know now!!!</p>

<p>This might work for you after December 15th.</p>

<p>High schools that delay the IMMEDIATE distribution of PSAT scores are simply adding to a long display of ineptitude and cluelessness. One has to wonder when the people who wedge themselves between the College Board and the students will understand that the scores are not the schools’ but the students ONLY. </p>
<p>It makes no sense for the College Board not to transmit the scores to the students (see registration sites) as soon as available, and let the schools organize the return of the booklets according to their own silly agenda. </p>
<p>Fwiw, students should remember to give a non-disclosure instruction of all standardized scores to the school. The PSAT scores should never be on the back or front of the transcripts released by the high schools.</p>

<p>I remember getting scores online for my 2011 grad over winter break when he was a Jr, so I logged on earlier today to see if I could see scores for my younger son. This year you can not get scores online without the access code until January 15.</p>

<p>Excellent idea, especially for SAT/ACT IF you can get your school to comply. I went round and round with our school about transcript scores and could not get them removed. Later I learned via a thread here on CC others in my state were having the same problem. I finally gave up, and am instructing my 2014 hs student never to put his hs code on SATs so they will not be reported to the school.</p>
<p>and the access code is on the info. that is being mailed, correct??
arrghhhh</p>
<p>Yes, the access code is on the booklet your student should receive from the school with their scores. You may be able to call your students GC and ask them what their access code is prior to the booklets being handed out. It depends on your relationship with the GC, your need to know (ie do you need the scores to put on a summer enrichment application?), etc., if they are willing to release it.</p>
<p>The access code information is in the booklet with the scores and the GC get a sreadsheet with all of the access codes and scores. Personally, I agreee with Blueiguana in contacting the GC to get the access code. I am releasing mine to my students on monday (as soon as I get everything sorted out).</p>
<p>Thanks for the info Sybbie… nice of you to share :)</p>
<p>sybbie, can you be our GC 
? We were told that they’ll be given out in January, and not any earlier. Sigh.</p>
<p>I can’t understand the point of sitting on scores until mid-January at some schools. Is this a tradition thing? Anyway, no point in saying more since Xiggi said it perfectly well.</p>
<p>But perhaps even worse is the inclusion of the PSAT/SAT/ACT scores on the high school transcripts, which completely undermines the score report choice now available for these tests. This is almost certainly a tradition thing.</p>
<p>Our school apparently “holds” the results so it doesn’t ruin the holiday break. Whatever…</p>

<p>The presumed reason our district holds the scores is that the counselors are so busy getting out the last-minute college apps that holding the PSAT scores until January allows them to put off all the questions that parents and kids will have that interfere with getting out the apps. As the mom of a former senior, I appreciate that. However …</p>
<p>At our school, the PSAT is given to all freshmen, sophs and juniors, so while I think the point is valid, this is not the first rodeo for juniors and their parents and so they don’t have the questions that freshman parents will have. I think juniors, the only ones for whom the scores actually mean something, should get the scores before the break so they can use that time for prep for the January SAT, plan college visits, etc. I’m working on making that happen. We have a new administration that’s more flexible on these kinds of things.</p>
<p>OUr high school used to have a PSAT night in January where the GCs would explain what the scores meant and get the parents/kids prepped for the “end of junior year until end of fall senior year” gauntlet of college testing and applications.</p>
<p>With budget cuts, the PSAT results and the test booklets are just handed out to the kids with no explanation. Advantage: they will most likely be handed out next week.</p>
<p>Our school gives them out the last day before winter break.</p>
