Which PSAT are you taking?

The PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, and PSAT/NMSQT share one digital, adaptive format and the same skills — they differ by grade, score scale, and what's at stake. Pick yours to jump straight to its course and score calculator.

PSAT 8/9

Grades 8 & 9 · scored 240–1440
The starting line of the SAT Suite.

Your first official, on-grade-level read on the exact reading, writing, and math skills the SAT measures — years before it counts.

PSAT 10

Grade 10 · Spring · scored 320–1520
The sophomore-year checkpoint.

Same scale and format as the SAT. A pure diagnostic that tells you exactly where to aim your junior-year prep — no admissions stakes.

PSAT/NMSQT

National Merit
Grade 11 · Fall · scored 320–1520
The one that pays. National Merit.

The junior-year test that qualifies for the National Merit Scholarship Program — and your last full dress rehearsal for the SAT.

Format & scoring

Digital, adaptive, built on Bluebook.

Every PSAT runs in the same Bluebook app as the SAT: two sections, each split into two adaptive modules. There's no penalty for guessing, and a built-in Desmos calculator is allowed on all math.

Words in Context

8–10 questions per test · 20% of the R&W score·Difficulty: Medium
The concept
The blank · with clue extracted
"...the layers are ______, allowing for upward or downward movement based on merit or effort."
CContext
Society = layered by wealth, power, status
LLocate
"movement within strata" — the key clue
UUnderstand
Blank means "allows passage through"
EEvaluate
Test each choice in the blank
Predict before you peek"a word meaning 'allows passage through'"
permeable✓ pick
Allows passage through
visible—
Sight, not movement
equitable—
Fairness, not motion
theoretical—
Denies the layers

Word-in-context isn't a vocab quiz — it's a logic test. Every blank has a clue waiting in the surrounding sentences. Find the contrast, definition, example, or cause-effect cue and the right word picks itself. The wrong choices fit a related context but break the one in front of you.

Stat to remember:"However," "but," "unlike," and "instead" reverse the polarity of the blank — spot one and the answer must oppose the nearby idea.

Difficult practice questions

Our PSAT and SAT tutors spent years analyzing what makes a question hard — then recreated those, no rote repetition.

The PSAT/NMSQT payoff

National Merit starts with one number.

Only the junior-year PSAT/NMSQT enters you in the National Merit Scholarship Program. Qualification runs off the Selection Index — where your Reading & Writing score is double-weighted, so it rewards exactly the skills this course drills hardest.
