The PSAT Exam is given annually on October 16th and October 19th. Though all high schoolers can take the PSAT test, only 11th graders are qualified for the scholarships. We recommend 11th grade students start with SAT/ACT prep beginning in April so that they are well prepared to take both the PSAT and the SAT in October, November or December.The test is 2 hours and 10 minutes long and is divided into 5 sections - testing skills in Math, Critical Reading and Writing. Each section on the PSAT has a scaled score from 20-80 points.
