WHAT IS ON THE DIGITAL PSAT EXAM & WHEN IS IT GIVEN?
The PSAT/NMSQT consists of three sections:
- Evidence-Based Reading: This section evaluates your ability to understand and analyze passages from various sources.
- Writing and Language: It assesses your grammar, punctuation, and communication skills through written texts.
- Mathematics: This section tests your mathematical reasoning and problem-solving abilities in both calculator and no-calculator sections.
The digital PSAT is given between the months of October 2-30 th every school year. The exact format of the test is the following: The test is 2 hours and 14 minutes, and there are two sections on the exam: (1) Reading and Writing (2) Math. Each section is divided into two modules of equal length. The format of the digital PSAT is similar to the format of the digital SAT. The test starts with Module 1 of the reading and writing section. The students have 32 minutes to answer 27 questions. During this time, students can skip ahead or go back to any question within
Module 1, but they are not allowed to move on to Module 2 until the 32 minutes are up. Immediately after module 1, they move on to module 2 which has the same format. Then it’s the math section (2) which also has two modules. Each module has 22 questions and they get 35 minutes per module. The technology the student will need to have been a computer, or tablet that has the digital blue book app.
