Does your PSAT scores go on your permanent record?

Question

i am an incoming sophomore and i will be taking the PSATs this year and junior year. I was wondering if the PSATs go on your permanent record and what is the benefits of the PSATs? All answers appreciated.

Answer 1

The PSAT is a practice test and your scores do not become part of your permanent record.

The National Merit Program does use the PSAT to identify students that may qualify for the scholarships it has. While there is more to getting this scholarship it all has to start somewhere.

I think everything is recorded nowadays like you wrote something, that is recorded, right?  I know where you getting at right now?  You want to know that PSAT score will affect you in future or not.  Definitely not, yes it is recorded because in case you want another copy of your test score.  This information has access to you and the colleges will see your SAT I and SAT II, do not worry.

Answer 3

They aren't sent to colleges if thats what you mean. Also, you can choose not to send sat scores or even ap scores if you don't like them. The psat helps prepare you for the real SAT
