How much time should I set aside for the PSAT 8/9 test?

Hey, my school is offering the PSAT 8/9 and I'm just curious how long it takes. Do I need to clear my whole Saturday morning, or is it shorter than that?

Hello there! Great to hear you're considering taking the PSAT 8/9. It's actually shorter than the SAT, but still takes about 2 hours and 25 minutes to complete, plus some extra time for things like instructions and breaks. So, it might not take up every minute of your morning, but probably the majority of it, so I'd make sure any big plans for that day are scheduled in the afternoon.

Good luck with your test preparation!
