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.  

The PSAT 8/9 is intended for the 8th and 9th grade students, while the PSAT 10 is for 10th grade students and is slightly harder. We administer both PSAT 8/9 and PSAT 10 tests in spring.

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. It is administered in fall. 

Just like the SAT test, PSAT tests take 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.   

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.
