Introduction

HOW TO USE THIS PDF

PART 1

Welcome, students and parents! This free PDF is intended to help students prepare for the PSAT, a test administered by the College Board. It contains an overview of the PSAT, a few basic test-taking tips, a full-length practice test, an answer key, and scoring directions.

The first key to succeeding on the PSAT is to know the test. This PDF will help you know what to expect and build your confidence. Reading the quick tips in this PDF can help you to avoid common mistakes. Taking this practice test will help you to become more familiar with the format, pacing, and content of the exam. Reviewing your scores, as well as any questions you missed, can help you determine what you might need to continue studying in order to do your best on test day.

This PDF is not a totally comprehensive test-prep book. For more information about the PSAT, we recommend Ivy Global's New PSAT 3 Practice Tests.

THE TEST

The PSAT is a standardized test written and administered by the College Board, and cosponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. It is designed to assess students' skills in critical reading, mathematics, and writing.

Beginning in the fall of 2015, there will be three PSAT tests: the PSAT 8/9, the PSAT 10, and the PSAT/NMSQT (PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test). These tests will be taken by students in eighth or ninth grade, tenth grade, and tenth or eleventh grade, respectively. The test in this PDF is particularly geared towards preparation for the PSAT/NMSQT, and when we say "PSAT" that's the test we mean. However, the advice we give applies to all three tests.

The PSAT is a timed exam. You will be allowed a limited amount of time for each section. Set aside a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes for this exam. The amount of time that you will have for each section is given on the first page of each section. If you are taking a proctored exam, your proctor will also announce the time that you are allowed for each section.

Detailed directions are provided at the beginning of each section. Read these directions carefully when taking practice exams. You should try to be totally familiar with the directions for each section by the time that you take the real PSAT.
