PSAT/ SAT
PSAT Information
The digital SAT Suite of Assessments uses multistage adaptive testing. Each test section (Reading and Writing, Math) is divided into two equal-length, separately timed parts, called modules. Students answer a set of questions in the first module before moving on to the next. The questions that students are given in the second module depend on how they performed on the first module. This type of adaptive testing allows for a much shorter, but just as reliable, assessment that delivers accurate scores more efficiently.

BigFuture School App
The SAT® Suite of Assessments is going digital, making the testing experience easier for educators and students.
The digital transition also means students get scores faster and have a new way to access them—through a mobile app. The app meets students on their phones with:
Easy and direct access to their Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®) scores.
Customized career information and guidance about planning and paying for college.
Connections™, a free feature that allows students to hear from nonprofit colleges and scholarship programs that may be a good match.
A student’s personal information will never be shared with any of these organizations. If the student is interested in one of the colleges or programs they learn about, they can decide if and when to contact them.
