    Does anyone have information on this test? I tried searching but all I could find is information on PSAT/NMSQT and of course SAT

    1. What are sections?
    2. How long?
    3. Practice tests?

    Thanks!

    When my son did it, the sections were:
    Reading, 42 questions
    Writing and language, 40
    Math without calculator, 15
    Math with calculator, 25

    He got a total score out of 1440 and two subscores: R/W and Math (out of 720 each)

    College board has a little on it:
    PSAT 8/9

    It doesn't seem that different in style from the PSAT 10 or PSAT NMSQT.I would just review on Khan Academy SAT if your child is looking for some practice.

    Thanks momtofour. I was just hoping my DD could take a full length practice test to ensure time management. Did your son feel under time pressure?

    Does anyone know how long it takes to get the PSAT 8/9 results?
