What is the PSAT?

The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test is intended to help students prepare for the SAT. The test measures your skills in critical reading, mathematics and writing. It is not a quiz based on specific facts. And don't worry about whether a low PSAT score might prevent you from getting into the college of your choice; the PSAT isn't used to determine college admission.

While the PSAT is shorter than its SAT counterpart, it follows the same general format. Unlike the SAT, there is no essay requirement on the PSAT.

You may sometimes see the test written as "PSAT/NMSQT." The second part stands for National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation uses PSAT scores to determine how to distribute their national merit-based scholarships. If you score high enough on the PSAT (and meet additional academic requirements), you may qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program, where you will have a chance to win money for college tuition.
