should have attempted a question or not, given your pacing goals andPersonal Order of Difficulty.Some of the terminology in the study guide may be unfamiliar to younow, but don’t worry, you’ll get to know it soon. Also, you’ll want torefer back to this study guide at each session to keep yourself ontrack.One important note: In the Math chapters of this book, somesample questions do not appear in numerical order within a chapter.For example, you might see a question 4 followed by a question 14.This is because on the Math sections of the PSAT 8/9, a higherquestion number generally indicates a higher level of difficulty (thisis not the case with Reading or Writing and Language). Chapter 2has great advice on how to crack some of the most difficult questions.How Is the PSAT 8/9 Structured and Scored?Category PSAT 8/9ComponentsNumber ofQuestions,Time bySectionEvidence-Based Reading and Writing:ReadingWriting and LanguageMathCalculatorNo CalculatorReading42 questions over 5 passages55 minutesWriting and Language40 questions over 4 passages

As we will discussbelow, the PSAT 8/9, PSAT, and SAT are more similar than different.According to College Board, the PSAT redesign of 2015 raised thecomplexity of questions across the board. For the Reading andWriting and Language Tests, this refers in part to the way in whichall questions are now connected to full passages, which are written atthe same level as writing expected in introductory college andvocational training programs. This means that there will be a good
