Before You Start

• You’ll need a pencil, a timer and a calculator to take the tests.
• There are two types of questions:
Multiple choice questions: for each of these questions, there are four or more possible
answers. Choose which one is best.
Grid-ins questions: for these questions, you have to fill your answer into a grid.
• It’s okay to guess. You won’t lose any points if you’re wrong.
• The PSAT 10 Mathematics test contains a formula sheet, which displays formulas relating to
geometric measurement and certain algebra concepts. Formulas are provided to test-
takers so that they may focus on application, rather than the memorization, of formulas.
• After you’ve finished the test, review the answer key to see where you went wrong and
what areas you need to improve.

Good Luck!
