PSAT Semifinalist Notification

<p>Hey i think this is what happened</p>

<p>When I took PSATs, I entered my homeschool code and address for school info, but I think the PSAT coordinators checked everyone's and changed mine, because my score report was sent back to the school. </p>

<p>So, how will I be notified that I'm a semifinalist? Does it go through your school, or right to your house?</p>

<p>i hope this isn't all screwed up now that they changed my code.</p>

<p>I'm also homeschooled. my commended student notification came to my house. but the school report also did. I remember it was addressed to my parents as the "homeschool principals," so if your scores went to the school I would guess that would as well.</p>

<p>Contact the College Board and explain to them what happened. They can correct your school code to be the correct one. Then you'll get all of your notifications at your home instead of having it all flow through to that school.</p>

<p>(866) 433-7728 should get you through to someone that can get this straightened out.</p>

<p>it seems pretty strange the PSAT people would have changed your code...
did you tell them you were homeschooled when you registered?</p>

<p>It is most likely that someone at the hosting school changed the code. They would want to make sure that everyone at their school entered the proper school code so that 1) they get credit for that student's scores and 2) that all of the scores get sent to the right place. The person doing the checking probably didn't consider that there might be others in attendance besides the kids that actually go to that school. </p>

<p>I've heard of incidents of this happening before.</p>

<p>yes, but i'm sure the lady in charge didn't check everyone's</p>

<p>It still seems strange for the school to be changing anything....
I didn't realize they actually looked at the things.</p>

<p>It is in the school's best interest to make sure that all of the students that take the test put the school code on it. They get statistics about how well their students do and, in many cases, the school's name is in local press releases when the NMSF names are announced in the fall. </p>

<p>Not everyone sitting in that testing room will have listened to the instructions about the school code. Some won't have filled it in at all. Others will have transposed digits or gotten ornery and put garbage in there. The test administrators at the school can quickly flip through the stack of tests and fix any such school code discrepancies. Better to do it then than to try to address the mess later when test results go to the wrong places or can't go anywhere at all (because of a missing school code).</p>

<p>im homeschooled and never got my PSAT scores back. BS</p>

<p>Call College Board. They'll be able to track down your scores.</p>
