UPDATE: When will I be taking the PSAT?

The PSAT is offered in October, during the school day, for grades 10 + 11.

Registration details for the October test will be shared with students and families early this fall.

What should I expect on the PSAT (Khan Academy, 2020)?

If you are already familiar with the structure of the new SAT, the PSAT/NMSQT will feel familiar to you. Just like the new SAT, the revised PSAT/NMSQT focuses on college and career readiness, and it echoes the same knowledge and skills tested by the redesigned SAT. The test also follows a similar format as the SAT and is also two hours and 45 minutes long. The content is broken into three sections:

Math (48 questions)
Reading (47 questions)
Writing (44 questions)
