The PSAT/NMSQT, or preliminary SAT, is a practice version of the SAT exam. You can only take the PSAT once per year, and many students take the test in both 10th and 11th grade. If you earn a high school on the PSAT your junior year, you could qualify to receive a National Merit Scholarship.
The PSAT is a 2 hours and 45 minutes long, digital test that tests your skills in reading, writing, and math. The highest possible score is a 1520.

Which test to take? All colleges and universities in the US accept either the SAT or the ACT and have no preference. See the articles below if you need help deciding. Many colleges and state scholarships, such as LIFE and Palmetto Fellows, will take the highest sub scores and combine them if a student takes the same test more than once (called super-scoring). For that reason, we recommend students choose either the ACT or SAT and take that same test more than once. It is also a good idea to take the other test at least once, as we cannot predict which test the student will perform better on.
