Hi guys! I'll be taking the PSAT in 2024. Could anyone tell me how many questions there are on the PSAT? Just trying to get a sense for how much study time I'll need to allocate.
Sure, I can help with that! As of 2024, the structure of the digital PSAT/NMSQT is as follows:
For Reading and Writing: There are two 32-minute modules, and you'll have to complete 54 questions within that time frame.
As for Math: You'll find two 35-minute modules, with a total of 44 questions to be completed within that time.
So in total, for the digital PSAT/NMSQT, you have to answer 98 questions within the given 134 minutes.
The amount of study time you'll need to prepare for the PSAT can vary greatly depending upon your current skill level and familiarity with the test, but in general, it's a good idea to start a regular study routine several months before the test date. Review math concepts, practice reading comprehension, and try to complete practice tests under timed conditions to build your test-taking stamina.
