About PSAT Test

About PSAT Test

Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT) is taken before the SAT and hence, it gives the students an idea of what they will face on the SAT test. It is estimated that approximately 3.5 million students take this test every year.

Most people like to call PSAT the practice version of the SAT exam, which it is but it also helps students qualify for the National Merit Scholarships. PSAT is also known as PSAT/NMSQT.

PSAT has the same structure as the SAT and thus has the same number of sections: Reading, Writing and Language, and Math. There is no essay section on the PSAT and there is also no negative marking, just like SAT.

PSAT Test Date 2024

October 1–October 31, 2024

  • Schools may also choose to administer the PSAT/NMSQT on Saturday, October 12, 2024, or Saturday, October 26, 2024.

You have to contact your school counselor to sign up for the test.
