Familiarize yourself with the SAT

The Preliminary SAT (PSAT)Β is a test conducted by the College Board in the US (the same organization that administers the SAT). It is taken by students across the world who want to get an idea of the SAT format and difficulty level well before they take the actualΒ SAT. In India, many students take the PSAT in Grade 10 or 11. Though there is no compulsion to take this test for admission to colleges in the United States, if you earn a high score on the test you do qualify for National Merit Scholarship and that can provide an important competitive edge during admissions.

Frequently Asked Questions


How many times can I take PSAT?


Students can take the PSATΒ up to three times during high school.Β 



Does PSAT score matter?


the PSAT is simply a dress rehearsal for the SAT. While it’s true there are a tiny percentage (around 3%) of 11thΒ graders who will take the PSAT and qualify for the National Merit Scholarship, it’s important to remember thatΒ PSAT scores are not used in the college admissions process



What is difference between PSAT and SAT?


The PSAT and the SAT are almost identical. The PSAT is fifteen minutes shorter than the SAT, doesn’t include an essay, and is scored on a slightly different scale. Otherwise, the PSAT has the same question types and tests the same knowledge areas as the SAT. By prepping for the SAT, you are prepping for both tests!
