The Reading Test always includes the following: It does not test prior knowledge of specific topics-all the questions can be answered using the reading passage provided. Some include informational graphics such as tables or charts, but this section does not require any math skills. The Reading Test is based on text passages, and all questions are multiple choice with four answer choices. There are no experimental sections or unscored questions on the PSAT. The PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 both have a total testing time of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Math Test, Calculator Portion – 45 minutes, 31 questions.Math Test, No Calculator Portion – 25 minutes, 17 questions.The Writing and Language Test – 35 minutes, 44 questions.The Reading Test – 60 minutes, 47 questions.The PSAT/NMSQT has undergone significant changes in recent years, including in its scoring mechanisms. While the PSAT 10 shares the same format as the PSAT/NMSQT, the PSAT 8/9 is shorter and features less complex content. These variations generate score reports that measure students’ college readiness and skillsets. The College Board now also offers two PSAT variations: the PSAT 10 for sophmores, and the PSAT 8/9 for freshmen and eighth graders. Students take the PSAT/NMSQT in their junior year to determine National Merit scholarship eligibility and to prepare for the SAT. Like the SAT, the PSAT is designed to measure the ability to understand and process elements of reading, writing, and mathematics. Over three million high school students take the Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) each year.
