Accessing Your Scores Online
Once your SAT scores are released, you can access them online through your College Board account.

To access your scores online, head over to your College Board account. Once logged in, your most recent score will be displayed prominently, along with a link to your detailed report. This report is your map to understanding your performance.

Using My Practice
If you're signed into Bluebook with a College Board account, you can use the same credentials to sign in to My Practice and view your scores from our full-length practice tests, along with your official scores from any assessment in the SAT Suite. If you sign in to Bluebook with sign-in credentials from your school, you can also see your practice scores and access additional practice resources in My Practice. Please note that these sign-in credentials expire after 90 days, so you won't be able to access My Practice to view your scores once your credentials have expired.
