Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PSAT 8/9?
The PSAT 8/9 is an introductory practice test from the College Board, designed for 8th and 9th graders starting high school. It measures reading, writing, and math skills you're learning in class, helping set a baseline for college readiness as part of the SAT Suite of Assessments.
Who should take the PSAT 8/9?
It's mainly for 8th and 9th grade students, though some schools offer it to 7th graders too. If you're in those grades and your school participates, it's a low-pressure way to get familiar with standardized testing no prior prep required.
How do I register for the PSAT 8/9?
Students do not register individually for the PSAT 8/9. Registration is handled entirely through the student's middle school or high school. You must sign up and pay the test fee (if any) through your school.
How can I prepare for the PSAT 8/9?
The best way to prepare is by using official resources. The College Board partners with Prephow to provide PSAT 8/9 Questions, personalized practice exercises and full-length practice tests. Additionally, reviewing core 8th and 9th-grade math and reading skills in school is excellent preparation.
When is the PSAT 8/9 administered?
The PSAT 8/9 is typically offered in the fall, from late September through March. However, your specific school chooses its test date and whether to offer it, so students should check with their school counselor for exact dates.
What is on the PSAT 8/9 test? What are the sections?
The PSAT 8/9 has two main sections:
- Reading and Writing: This section is split into two 32-minute modules, testing your comprehension, vocabulary, and ability to interpret texts and data.
- Math: This section is also split into two 35-minute modules, covering algebra, advanced math, problem-solving, data analysis, and geometry.

The total score for the PSAT 8/9 ranges from 240 to 1440.
- The Reading and Writing section score ranges from 120–720.
- The Math section score also ranges from 120–720.
The scores are aligned with the total score range of the PSAT/NMSQT and SAT, which allows students to track their growth over time.
Are calculators allowed on the PSAT 8/9?
Yes. Students may use an approved calculator (either a physical device or the built-in graphing calculator within the digital testing app, Bluebook) for the entire Math section. The test content, however, includes some questions that are best solved without a calculator.
Do PSAT 8/9 scores get sent to colleges?
No. PSAT 8/9 scores are strictly for the student, their parents, and their school counselors. Colleges do not receive or consider PSAT 8/9 scores as part of a student's application. The exam is a practice tool for future testing.

I bought a PSAT 8/9 practice test from Prephow and it was exactly what I needed. The questions felt just like the real thing, especially the algebra, geometry, and reading comprehension passages. Did the full timed test twice and ended up passing with a solid score. Totally worth it for the price.
