The College Board is the organization that produces the Advanced
Placement program (in addition to the SAT and PSAT).
The Advanced Placement (AP) program enables high school students
to pursue college-level studies, with your score on the AP exam
possibly earning college credit (the specific requirements
vary for each college), and possibly earning you a
higher placement in courses when you enroll in college.
The PSAT/NMSQT is the Preliminary SAT/National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test. PSAT scores are used to
identify National Merit Scholars and award merit scholarships.
The total score is the sum of the two section scores; its range
is 320–1520. Your students receive scores in the range of 160–760
for each of two sections. The Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
section score combines the scores for the Reading Test and the
Writing and Language Test.
Testing requirements for many college applications have
changed. Be sure to check with the admissions office of any
colleges you plan to apply to so that you have the latest
information on testing criteria.
We are committed to providing equitable and accessible testing
environments for our learners. If your student has an
Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan, please reach out
the counseling department to request accommodations for College
Board exams.
Please note that students who have previously requested an
accommodation with College Board are automatically renewed until
graduation.
