Test date: Oct 14, 2026 (MCPS) 

Students: Grade 8

Benefits: The test score determines the admissions  into certain regional criteria-based programs.

Objective: Designed to help ambitious students prepare early for the PSAT/NMSQT, this program offers four full-length mock exams to build student confidence.

Feature: We help students tackle assessments using critical thinking and mental problem-solving rather than relying on calculators or digital tools. 

Like the MAP assessment, the PSAT/NMSQT is delivered digitally, but it has several distinct structural differences:

• It integrates both math and English into a single unified exam.

• It is strictly timed with no scheduled breaks between modules.

• It utilizes a multi-stage adaptive format: Module 1 features a mixed-difficulty set of questions for all test-takers, while Module 2 branches into two tiers based on performance, routing high-achieving students to the more challenging second module.

The resulting scores provide tangible benchmarks to help students navigate their future college choices with confidence.

The perfect score in a PSAT 8/9 test is 1440 (not 1600)
