Overview:
The PSAT/NMSQT® Summary of Answers and Skills (SOAS) is provided free-of-charge to every school that tested at least 25 students in a single grade. The report allows users to analyze aggregate test question information and to examine students' academic skill level at the time they took the test. The analyses include comparisons with the nation's performance, your state's performance, and a comparable group's performance. SOAS keeps the focus on student skills as answers are analyzed across each grade-level, providing insight into how well students understand and apply the skills taught in your curriculum.
Intended Audience:
District officials, high school principals, teachers, counselors
How to access your reports:
To access SOAS reports, all users need to have a user account (see top right) and an access code.
Schools:
Access codes are printed on the Student Roster of Scores and Plans that is sent with student score reports in December. If you accessed SOAS reports last
year, you will not have to re-enter an access code to view reports this year.
Districts:
District-level SOAS reports are available as an optional fee-based report, which must be ordered. Information on how to access reports (instructions and an access code) is
sent to districts by postal mail in January following the October PSAT/NMSQT administration.
If you have any questions, please call the College Board at (212) 373-8810 or contact us via e-mail.
