Possessive Adjectives, also called Pronominal Adjectives (as they are derived from Pronouns) are the Personal Pronouns “my”, “our”, “your”, “his”, “her” and “their” when used with a noun. In all other cases, these nouns remain and function like Personal Pronouns only. For example:

Yes! Scores stay valid for 2 years. For a transition period (2026–2028), your score report will show both the new 1.0–6.0 band and a comparable 0–120 score. This helps universities compare your results fairly during the switch.
