Attention Parents

Access student results when they become available in May (PSAT and SAT) and June (CMAS and CoAlt).

CMAS Tests CoAlt Science
SAT & PSAT CoAlt Math & ELA

You need your student's state identifier (SASID) to access CMAS and CoAlt results; CollegeBoard student accounts are used to access PSAT and SAT results.

CDE cannot share student results or SASIDs. Check your school's student system or contact the district for help. SASIDs also appear on past CMAS reports.
