PSAT Preparation
Developed by the College Board, the PSAT/NMSQT measures content learned in high school and provides an introduction to the critical thinking skills necessary for success on the SAT. The PSAT is a preview of the SAT, and will play a key role as students decide whether to choose the digital SAT or the paper-based ACT. With two stage adaptive sections — Reading and Writing, and Math — the PSAT/NMSQT requires two hours and fifteen minutes of actual testing. For those who want a head start, the College Board also offers the PSAT 8/9 and PSAT 10 examinations. Learn more about the PSAT/NMSQT.
