Did you take the PSAT in October?  

PSAT scores are available online via College Board.  Test-takers received an email from the College Board, which will have a unique access code that will connect you to your scores online.  If you haven't already done so, you'll be asked to set up a free College Board account before you can view your scores.  If you have trouble accessing your PSAT score after logging into your account, please contact the school counseling office.

Click here for a video which explains how to read and interpret your score report.  It also explains how to link your PSAT score to the Khan Academy, for a personalized SAT prep course!
