Career Insights lets you know how your math and reading and writing skills (based on your latest SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, or PSAT 8/9 score) align with the typical math and reading and writing skills required for careers. This is important information but only one part of career exploration and doesn’t determine whether you should or shouldn’t select this career or whether you’ll be ready for this career in the future. You’ll want to explore your interests, values, skills, and educational requirements as you consider various career options. Career exploration is a continuous process because your interests and opportunities may change in the future. Learn more about Career Insights.

Using your latest SAT or PSAT-related test score, Career Insights matches your math and reading and writing skills with those required for careers. Remember—Career Insights measures these skills, not all skills you’ll need for a career.

Keep exploring your interests, values, and skills as you consider your future career options. Career Insights is just one part of a broader career exploration journey. And know your ideas about your career can evolve as your interests change and new opportunities appear.

Not always. College readiness isn’t the same as career readiness. Often, college readiness requirements are higher than career readiness requirements. Use our College Search tool to check application requirements.
