- Select the PSAT/SAT assessment you'd like to your report.

When you're done choosing columns, click Add Columns to Custom Report.
You will need to create the following Performance Band Sets (Assessments > Create Performance Band Sets):
Name: PSAT/SAT Section Score Benchmark
Label Verbiage:
- 3 - Section Score Meets or Exceeds the Benchmark
- 2 - Section Score is Within One Year’s Academic Growth of the Benchmark
- 1 - Section Score is Below the Benchmark by more than One Year’s Academic Growth
- 0- Not Tested (Note: Only because a 0 is required.)
Name: PSAT/SAT Test & Subscore Benchmark
Label Verbiage:
- 3 - On track for College Readiness
- 2 - Close to Being On Track for College Readiness- Continue to strengthen skills
- 1 - Need to strengthen skills

Once you have your bands created you can link them to columns via the Manage Columns page.
