Hey there, I'm planning on taking the PSAT this year but I am not exactly sure when it is? Can anyone help me out with this? Much appreciated!
Sure, I'd be happy to help! PSAT tests are typically administered in mid-October. There are two primary test dates and an alternative test date. For exact dates, you should check the College Board's website or reach out to your school's guidance counselor's office, as they are the ones administering the test.
Do note that the PSAT needs to be taken at a school or other testing center; it can't be taken at home.
Before the test, if you want to get familiarized with it, consider using Bluebook™ app. It is a great tool for practicing the PSAT as it allows you to take a full-length practice test. That can help you ascertain the areas you need to focus on and give you a decent idea of the test format.
Remember to register for the PSAT through your school well before the test date! Good luck with your preparation and test!
