| What is the PSAT*? |
|
The PSAT* is the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test. It is a two hour test given once a year in October. There are five separate sections: two math sections, two reading sections, and one writing skills section. Each subject is scored on a scale from 20 to 80 points for a total of 240 maximum points. National Merit Scholarship semifinalists are selected based on the PSAT* score. |

Most high school students take the PSAT* during their junior year, however, many schools now allow sophomores to take the test for practice. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
