Get Actionable Data

Using the online reporting portal, you'll be able to:

  • Evaluate each student’s college and career readiness.
  • Determine which knowledge areas and skills need more work.
  • See how much progress they've made from the PSAT 8/9.
  • Leverage this data for instructional planning.

The Power to Plan—in the Palm of Students' Hands

With the BigFuture School mobile app, PSAT 10 test takers 13 and over can view their scores, including career insights, and explore customized college and career guidance. If available at your school, students can access to Connections™, where students can hear from nonprofit colleges, scholarship providers, and government agencies offering educational programs—without sharing any personal information.

Expand Access to AP

Students who succeed in AP courses are more likely to succeed in college, and they can save money through credit-granting and placement policies. The AP Potential™ tool uses SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9 scores to help you identify students likely to succeed in AP. In addition, student score reports recommend AP courses that might be good matches. 

PSAT 10 Practice

To prepare for the PSAT 10, and ultimately the SAT, students will have access to free digital practice exams in the Bluebook testing app as well as access to Official Digital SAT Prep on Khan Academy® for additional guidance. Students with College Board–approved accommodations who are taking the digital PSAT 10 on a paper form can download and print a full-length practice test.
