Need a quick clarification – do you have to write an essay when you're taking the PSAT, or is it just multiple-choice sections? Just trying to prep and I really can't find a straight answer on this!
No, the PSAT does not have an essay component. It consists only of multiple-choice sections, including Reading, Writing and Language, and Math. Don't worry about preparing for any written essays for the PSAT. Focus your studies on the areas mentioned, practice with sample questions, and make sure you’re comfortable with the test format. This will help you perform your best on the actual test day. Good luck with your preparation!
