Simulate test day by printing and taking official PSAT/NMSQT practice tests. Use them to practice for the PSAT 10, too, since it’s the same test as the PSAT/NMSQT.
After you've finished, score your test using the resources below.
Before You Start
You'll need a printer, pencil, calculator, and timer. Here are some tips:
- Mark your answers in the correct row of circles on the answer sheet. Be especially careful if you skip questions.
- It’s okay to guess. You won’t lose any points if you’re wrong.
- Learn how to enter your answers on math grid-ins.
If you’re using a screen reader or other assistive technology, we recommend using the Microsoft Word practice tests optimized for you. If you prefer, you can also practice using the MP3 audio format.
Practice Test Tips
When you take the practice test, use the answer sheet just as you would on test day. We also recommend that you follow the section timing as indicated on the printed test.
When you're done, print the resources below to score by hand.
