PSAT/NMSQT Practice Tests 2027

Review

Disclosure: The publisher provided this for review via NetGalley.

The PSAT/NMSQT is usually taken in the fall of 11th grade, but sometimes 10th grades take it as well. This book provides very detailed preparation for the test.

It begins with an explanation on how to use the book as well as what to expect when it’s time to take the test. For parents and guardians not used to testing formats which require a device, it’s nice that this information is laid out. The test is no longer pencil and paper, it’s fully digital and it’s adaptive as opposed to linear. This means students are given questions based on their level of understanding.

The book also provides a three month study plan and a six month study plan. It goes over how the test is scored and everything you need to know, which is helpful.

As for the test prep, it gives tips on taking the exam, and then provides practice tests based on three different levels; which is in line with the test being adaptive.

It provides an answer guide as well as detailed answer explanations. If a student answers incorrectly, it’s not just enough to tell them it’s wrong. They need to understand the logic behind why the answer they have chosen is incorrect. Therefore, it’s great that this book provides that.

Due to its extensive nature and intent to help one prepare for a test, I would want a hardcopy of this, not an ebook.

This is well worth it for anyone wanting to prepare for this exam.
