The qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program; separate eligibility rules apply.
Your school determines which test it offers. Scholarship eligibility is not automatic, especially for students outside the United States.
Use the PSAT as a direct SAT Suite baseline. Protect school assessment weeks and schedule the first Bluebook mock early.
Avoid heavy Internal Assessment and exam periods. Use shorter weekday sessions plus one weekend timed set.
Plan around GCSE, AS or A-level mocks. Separate PSAT pacing work from subject-exam revision blocks.
Use algebra strengths efficiently while scheduling English conventions and evidence practice consistently around school tests.
Total testing time, excluding the break and check-in.
54 Reading and Writing questions plus 44 Math questions.
Each section has two modules; performance in the first helps determine the second.
The assessment is taken digitally with approved built-in testing tools.
