Monitor Progress and Inform Instruction

The PSAT 10, part of the SAT Suite of Assessments, is designed for 10th-grade students. It provides an objective measure of the core skills needed for any postsecondary pathway and benefits both educators and students. 

Efficient and Flexible

As a digital test, the PSAT 10 is shorter and can be administered in a flexible spring semester scheduling window to preserve instructional time.

Data-Driven Insights

When used with other tests in the SAT Suite, it helps educators measure year-over-year performance from the aggregate to individual level. Results typically come within two weeks of testing, allowing educators to quickly address instructional needs. 

A Foundation for Success

It helps students build familiarity with the SAT and its format. Students will also be able to understand where they need to focus academically so they can reach their target SAT score.

Help more students take at least one AP course to build confidence and skills needed for high school, college, and career success. AP courses also give students the opportunity to earn college credit in high school. The AP Potential™ tool is designed to help identify 9th–11th-grade students who are ready for AP based on their performance on the PSAT 10 and other tests in the SAT Suite. By expanding access to AP, educators create a college-going culture in their school.
