There are three PSATs. They work like the SAT (digital, adaptive, in Bluebook), with scores on a slightly smaller scale.
| Test | Who takes it | Total score | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSAT/NMSQT | Grades 10–11 (in the fall) | 320–1520 | The 11th-grade score is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program. |
| PSAT 10 | Grade 10 (in the spring) | 320–1520 | Same content as the PSAT/NMSQT, for practice and benchmarks. |
| PSAT 8/9 | Grades 8–9 | 240–1440 | A first look at the SAT Suite, to spot strengths early. |
