When homeschool students take college admission tests, they usually need to provide homeschool codes. Here are homeschool codes for tests all in one place for you:
SAT Homeschool Code is 970000
ACT Homeschool Code is 969999
PSAT For the PSAT, homeschoolers are compared with other students within their state, not compared against the nation. There is no homeschool code for this test. When they are asked the question, "Are you taking this test at the school you regularly attend?" simply have your child fill in the bubble that says, "No, I am homeschooled." There is no longer a homeschool code that you will need to input.
SAT Subject Tests Homeschool Code is 970-000.
PLAN (the pre-ACT test) Homeschool Code is 999-999
AP Test Homeschool Codes are provided by the test coordinator: "Homeschooled students will use the state homeschool code provided by the Coordinator on the day of the exam." See AP Exams for Homeschool Students. You may want to call the test administrator in advance, and tell them your homeschooled student is coming in for testing so they have the code ready.
Here is the good news - the test proctors will know the homeschool code! Don't panic if you forget to write it down, because generally someone in charge can tell you what it is, or they will know how to find the information. Even so, it can put your mind at ease to have these homeschool codes handy!
It helps to use the homeschool code. Then the testing company will contact you directly with test results, instead of sending it to the high school and rely on them to give you the test results. For that reason, you may receive the scores weeks sooner when you use the homeschool code.

I called a couple weeks ago for our area code (ohio) for the PSAT which my twins will take tomorrow. I was given 993699. I could not find the number so I called again today. I was given 970000. As I was talking with the lady, I happened to find the original paper that I wrote the number on the first time. I explained that I found the number and that it was different. She asked for the number. When I told her she said it was not one of theirs. Ideas of what to do in that situation? I copied and pasted the info above to take with me to the school where we will test tomorrow. I am hoping someone there will know what to do. This isn't the first time I have had conflicting answers from College Board. Thanks for your help.
Dear Sharon,
I believe the number only matters on the day of the test. As long as you have the number correct at the test, you won't have a problem.
I'm sure the person who answered was merely confused. 970000 is the homeschool code for the PSAT. 993699 is the Ohio code for the PSAT. Give them this code: 993699 and say you are a homeschool parent.
