Yes. The SAT® and PSAT/NMSQT® are fully digital and adaptive. The official test is delivered through College Board’s Bluebook app.

3) Is the practice test digital like the real PSAT/NMSQT?

Yes. Our platform mirrors the official digital format — including adaptive sections, timing, navigation tools, and the embedded Desmos graphing calculator — so students know exactly what to expect on test day.

4) Who is this best for?

Primarily 10th and 11th graders. Juniors can qualify for National Merit® recognition, while sophomores gain a first look at college readiness and build confidence before the official exam.

5) What devices are allowed for the digital PSAT/NMSQT?

Students can use a school-issued or personal laptop or Chromebook with the Bluebook testing app installed.

6) Can my student use a calculator?

Yes. On the digital PSAT/NMSQT, students can use a calculator on every math question. Our online practice includes the official Desmos graphing calculator built into the test screen, just like the real exam.

7) Do you provide accommodations for students with learning differences or extended-time needs?

Yes. Our PSAT/NMSQT® practice can reflect approved accommodations such as extended time, extra breaks, small-group settings, and screen-reader compatible materials. Note accommodations when registering so we can match your student’s needs. For questions about requesting official PSAT/SAT accommodations, please contact your school and the College Board.

8) When will we get results?

Right after the test — instant scores appear in your account with section-by-section detail and official percentiles.

No. All official SAT® and PSAT/NMSQT® exams are now digital.

What does “adaptive” mean?

The test adjusts difficulty based on performance, providing accurate results in less time.

Do PSAT/NMSQT scores count for college admissions?

A laptop or desktop with stable internet and a modern browser (e.g., Chrome). We’ll send setup instructions in your confirmation.

Is the practice test really free?

Yes. There’s no cost and no credit card required — it’s truly free.
