Accessing PSAT Scores
All the PSAT scores from the exam taken in October are now available. The breakdown of each section, including the correct answers as well as a personalized study plan from Khan Academy can be found on your College Board account at collegeboard.org. If you have not yet, you will need to create a College Board account in order to see your scores. The directions are below. Please, please, please...if you have already created an account do not create another, as this will severely complicate all dealings with College Board in the future, from SAT's to AP's to eventually sending scores to colleges. If you can't remember if you already have an account, please go through the "forgot my password" or "forgot my username" process to be certain. Any issues with accounts need to be directed to College Board rather than Faith Lutheran. Paper copies of scores will not be distributed as College Board no longer sends paper scores, however there will be test score interpretation assemblies during advisories in January for further information and to answer any questions.
- Go to collegeboard.org
- Click “Sign Up”
- Go through the process of creating an account
- When done, sign in with your new username and password
- Click “PSAT 8/9”
- If your scores do not appear, click “Add Scores”
- You may be asked to enter your password again
- You may be asked to update/double check all your information
- Click “Update”
- Scores should now be viewable

DEVOTIONAL
Dealing with the Devil - Part 1
in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. 2 Corinthians 2:11
Nothing thrills the devil more than the current skepticism with which he’s viewed. The more we doubt or downplay his existence, the more he’s free to hurt and hamper us. Jesus never doubted the reality of the devil. The Bible says, ‘Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil’ (Matthew 4:1). But Jesus was victorious. And He proved that God uses Satan’s schemes to strengthen us. Times of testing are actually times of spiritual training. ‘Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So, don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way’ (James 1:2-4). God loves you too much to leave you undeveloped and immature. ‘God is educating you; that’s why you must never drop out. He’s treating you as dear children. This trouble you’re in isn’t punishment; it’s training, the normal experience of children. Only irresponsible parents leave children to fend for themselves’ (Hebrews 12:5-10). Paul says, ‘We are not ignorant of [Satan’s] schemes.’ When General Patton counterattacked Field Marshal Rommel in World War ll, Patton is reported to have shouted in the thick of battle, ‘I read your book, Rommel! I read your book!’ Patton had studied Rommel’s Infantry Attacks. He knew the German leader’s strategies and planned his moves accordingly. And when you become acquainted with Satan’s moves you can stop him cold in his tracks.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me the tools to fight against the attacks of the devil. Protect me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me the tools to fight against the attacks of the devil. Protect me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
