What is the SAT?
The SAT is a standardized test for college admissions.
What is PSAT?
PSAT stands for Preliminary SAT.
It is a practice version of the SAT, taken mostly by:
Grade 8 (PSAT 8/9)
Grade 9 (PSAT 8/9)
Grade 10 (PSAT 10)
Grade 11 (PSAT/NMSQT — the scholarship version)
The PSAT is shorter and easier than the SAT, but the math structure and question types are very similar, especially for PSAT 10 and PSAT/NMSQT.
Why is the PSAT important?
