The PSAT/NMSQT measures your ability to reason using facts that are part of your general knowledge or that are included in your test booklet. You will not have to recall any history, literature, or science, or even most math formulas -- they are presented in the test booklet. Your score is based upon how many questions you correctly answer within a set period of time. The most common mistake students make is to answer too many questions. On the PSAT/NMSQT, it is better to answer fewer questions correctly, even if some questions are left unanswered at the end of a section. You can still get an above-average score if you leave several questions blank. Without going too slowly, you want to remember that accuracy is the key to this test.
