The test might be over, but test coordinators still have a few to-dos.
Returning Materials
It's critical to return answer sheets to the College Board no later than the next school day after test day. Failing to do so could:
- Delay scoring
- Prevent PSAT/NMSQT takers from entering the National Merit™ Scholarship Program
New Test Policies
Starting in 2018-19, schools must also return test books for the following administrations:
- PSAT/NMSQT Saturday test day
- PSAT 10 dates in February or March
