Hey everyone! Can somebody please tell me the time allotted for each section of the PSAT? I wanna make sure I'm practicing with an accurate timer. Thanks in advance!
Sure! As of spring 2024, the PSAT/NMSQT is digital, and its structure is as follows:
1. Reading and Writing: You'll have two 32-minute modules to complete 54 questions in total. This gives you approximately 71 seconds per question.
2. Math: There are also two 35-minute modules for this section, and you'll need to complete 44 questions. Here, you'll have 96 seconds per question, which comes out to a little over a minute and a half for each problem.
In summary, the digital PSAT/NMSQT has a total duration of 134 minutes, and you'll be answering 98 questions. Good luck with your practice and preparation!
