PSAT

The Preliminary SAT, also known as the PSAT, is a practice version of the SAT exam. It comes in three forms: the PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10. and PSAT/NMSQT. 

Our school administers the PSAT/NMSQT in fall, and the PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10 in spring. We’re happy to open our doors to any external student wishing to take any of these exams on our campus.  

The PSAT 8/9 is intended for 8-9th grade students and is the first test in the SAT Suite of Assessments. The PSAT 10 is intended for 10th grade students and is slightly harder than the PSAT 8/9.   

The test takes 2 hours and 14 minutes to complete and consists of 2 sections: (1) Reading and Writing and (2) Math. Most of the questions are multiple-choice, though some math questions ask you to type in the answer.  

All PSAT tests have a score range from 160 to 760 by section and a combined score of 320 to 1520. Neither of the PSAT 8/9 or 10 scores are used for college admissions. The main purpose of the exams is to prepare students for the SAT exam.
