Hey everyone, I'm taking the PSAT this year and I was just wondering if the PSAT is adaptive, like does the difficulty of the questions change based on how well I'm doing or not? Any info would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
No, the PSAT is not adaptive. The test has a fixed set of questions that all test-takers receive, regardless of how well they're doing on the exam. The PSAT consists of two 32-minute Reading and Writing modules with a total of 54 questions and two 35-minute Math modules with a total of 44 questions. The difficulty of the questions may vary within each section, but the overall structure and content of the exam will not adapt based on your performance. Good luck with your preparation!
