PSAT Math
The PSAT/NMSQT
https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/psat-nmsqt-student-guide.pdf
The PSAT/NMSQT is now digital! The test is easier to take, shorter, has more time per question, and comes with a built-in calculator. It can also qualify you for the National Merit Scholarship Program and other scholarships.
How the PSAT/NMSQT Is Organized
You must complete all sections of the test based on your approved timing, and get to the Congratulations screen to confirm that your answers were submitted. If you leave before dismissal, your test may be considered incomplete and your scores may be ineligible for scholarship consideration or may be subject to cancellation. Do not close your laptop lid or cover or turn off your tablet screen at any point until you are dismissed.
What the Math Section Is Like
The Math section of the PSAT/NMSQT is designed to measure your success with building critical college and career readiness knowledge and skills in math. It focuses on key elements of algebra, advanced math, problem-solving and data analysis, and geometry and trigonometry. Over the course of the Math section, you’ll answer multiple-choice and student-produced response questions that measure your fluency with, understanding of, and ability to apply the math concepts, skills, and practices that are most essential.
Approximately 30% of Math questions are set in context. These in-context “word” questions require you to consider a science, social studies, or real-world scenario and apply your math skills and knowledge, along with an understanding of the context, to determine the answer to each.
Select questions in this section are accompanied by an informational graphic.
Questions from all 4 content domains appear in each test module. Across each module, questions are arranged from easiest to hardest, allowing you to have the best opportunity to demonstrate what you know and can do. Pretest questions don’t count toward your score.
These specifications are for the adaptive version of the digital test, which most students will take. Students approved for certain testing accommodations, such as a human reader, raised line drawings, or paper test forms, will test using a nonadaptive version of the digital PSAT/NMSQT. This nonadaptive version has a slightly higher number of test questions in each module to account for the fact that the test is not adaptive. Practice for this nonadaptive version of the test is also available in Bluebook. You can learn more about nonadaptive test specifications in Appendix E of the Assessment Framework for the Digital SAT Suite.
Submitting Your Answers
Do not close the lid to your laptop, turn off your tablet screen, close Bluebook, or shut down your device until you see the Congratulations screen like the one below indicating that your answers have been submitted and you are officially dismissed from testing. In the event of an internet disruption at the end of the test, or another issue that keeps you from submitting your answers, you’ll need to follow instructions provided by your school to complete submission. This may include waiting until the internet is back online to leave the testing room, or returning later with your testing device once the internet service resumes. If answers aren’t received by the end of the submission period, College Board may cancel your scores or report them for guidance purposes only.
How the PSAT/NMSQT Is Scored
The SAT Suite uses adaptive test design with item response theory (IRT) pattern scoring. Adaptive testing allows for fewer questions, in less time, than traditional paper tests. Pattern scoring allows for precise measurement of students’ knowledge and skills. Students’ scores are determined by whether they answer questions right or wrong, and by considering attributes of the questions, including difficulty level, the questions’ ability to differentiate between students with various levels of content knowledge, and the probability that a student is guessing based on their pattern of responses. Every test includes a standardized set of question types and measures the same content domains, so all students have equitable opportunity to demonstrate their strengths. For most students who are trying their best on every question, it is better to guess than leave a question blank, especially if the student can eliminate one or two answer options before guessing.
