The College Board has partnered with multiple Talent Search programs to offer weekend PSAT 8/9 administrations to gifted and talented students in grades 3–6. Students can register through Talent Search programs from September 2018–January 2019.

Upcoming dates for Talent Search administrations are:

Scores for Talent Search Participants

All scores will be sent to the applicable Talent Search organization. Parents and students will receive a paper score report by mail. Most paper scores should be received by late April 2019.

Internet privacy laws restrict students under 13 from creating College Board accounts. This means score reporting for Talent Search students will not be available via our online score reporting portal or integrated with Khan Academy®.
