The College Board Still Has Not Delivered Many Oct 2015 PSAT Scores

After failing to deliver October 2015 PSAT scores by its initially-promised, mid-December deadline, the College Board re-promised to have those scores electronically available to school counselors by January 6, 2016, and to students, by January 7, 2016.

What prompted me to write this post is that it is January 13, and the post has had The College Board Still Has Not Delivered Many Oct 2015 PSAT Scores | deutsch29:
