PSAT

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

In 2025-2026, 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 in our school; however, places are limited. 

The PSAT 8/9 is intended for the 8th and 9th grade students and is the first test in the series of SAT Suite of Assessments. The PSAT 10 is intended for 10th grade students only and is slightly harder than the PSAT 8/9. The PSAT/NMSQT can be taken by both 10th and 11th grade students; however, only 11th grade, United States citizens can qualify for the scholarship from the National Merit Scholarship Program.  

All PSAT tests take 2 hours and 14 minutes to complete and consist 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.  

PSAT test score results are not used for college admissions. The main purpose of the tests is to prepare the students for the SAT exam.
