Hey there, fellow juniors! I know the PSAT is a pretty common test, but does anyone have an idea of how many students take the PSAT each year? Just curious!
Hello! The number of students taking the PSAT each year can vary slightly, but it's estimated that around 3.5 to 4 million students take the PSAT/NMSQT annually. This test is popular among sophomores and juniors as a way to practice for the SAT and potentially qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program. So, you're definitely in good company taking the PSAT!
