The PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 are the same test, offered at different times of year. They have these benefits in common:
- They are both great practice for the SAT because they test the same skills and knowledge as the SAT—in a way that makes sense for your grade level.
- They both provide score reports you can use to personalize your Khan Academy® SAT practice.
- These score reports also list which AP courses you should check out.
Ask your counselor which test you’ll take.
