PSAT/NMSQT What is the next step?

PSAT Score Reports All students should receive a personalized PSAT score report and your original test booklet. Scores should be used to help a student evaluate his/her skills and plan for college. Scores are NOT intended for college admissions decisions. You must take the SAT and submit the scores directly to your colleges. High achieving students are eligible for the National Merit Scholarship Program. If you elected to participate in the Student Search Service, then your scores will be shared with scholarship and college programs. So you may receive information from potential college/scholarship programs.
