Understanding NMSQT & SAT SCORES

Steps to Set Up a Student College Board Account:

Step 1: Go to the College Board new account website.

Step 2: ** Submit required information to create a student account.

Step 3: Click Next and finalize process

Step 4: Keep password & login in an accessible location

Students will not receive a paper copy of their score report. Students can access their scores in their College Board account.

** We recommend students use their current legal name & gender. Additionally, students should use their personal emails (do not use personal parent emails) to set up an account. Once students leave VHHS if their College Board accounts are listed under a VHHS email students will permanently lose access to their account. VHHS staff cannot reset or look up a student's College Board email, password, or username.

Students can log into their College Board portal to access scores when they become available.
