Colleges who accept testing or have a 'test-optional' policy for college admissions will accept test scores from either the ACT or SAT exam. It
does not matter! The two are treated equally and neither are given preference over the other. *There are currently over 1,700 colleges/universities that are test-optional. For a list of colleges who are 'TEST OPTIONAL', please visit https://www.fairtest.org/ .
How students access their PSAT scores:
If your student took the PSAT exam given during the school day on Tuesday, October 17th at LACES, the College Board notified your student via email the first week of Dec of their scores being available. The email has a unique access code that connects your student to their scores online.
For students under the age of 13, parents will have to contact the College Board to access scores 866-433-7728 All 7th and 8th grade students score reports were issued and provided to students during Homeroom on January18th - 19th.
