PSAT
What does the PSAT/NMSQT measure? The PSAT/NMSQT measures skills in three basic academic areas important for success in college. - Critical reading questions assess students' abilities to draw inferences, synthesize information, distinguish between main and supporting ideas, and understand vocabulary as it is used in context.
- Mathematics problem-solving questions deal with number and operations; algebra and functions; geometry and measurement; and data analysis, statistics, and probability.
- Writing skills questions measure the ability to identify appropriate expressions in standard English, detect faults in usage and structure, choose effective revisions to sentences and paragraphs, and recognize appropriate writing strategies.
