Student Score FAQ’s
Q: Does my student need an access code?
A: An access code needed only if name, address, DOB on account do not match (College
Board account and information from Student Questionnaire)
Q: My student is logged in, but is NOT seeing his or her scores?
A: Student may need to “Add Scores” from other assessments or initiate a “Score Match”
through the online tool. They will need to verify and update profile information.
The matching may require a call to Customer Service: (866) 433 – 7728
