I know that as an 11th grader, the PSAT is kind of a big deal because of the whole National Merit thing, but I'm still not exactly sure about the length of the test. Can someone fill me in?
Absolutely! The PSAT/NMSQT for 11th graders is approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes long. It consists of four sections: Reading, Writing and Language, Math (No Calculator), and Math (Calculator). Here's the breakdown:
The Reading section is 60 minutes, the Writing and Language section is 35 minutes, the No Calculator Math section is 25 minutes and the Calculator Math section is 45 minutes. Using these time limits for yourself as you take practice tests can help ensure you're maximally prepared to do your best work.
Good luck!
