The PSAT Math section is designed to assess students' mathematical skills and problem-solving abilities. It includes questions on topics such as algebra, geometry, and data analysis. The test is divided into two parts: one that allows the use of a calculator and another that does not. Scoring well on the PSAT Math can help students prepare for the SAT and may qualify them for National Merit Scholarships. The test is typically taken by high school students in their sophomore or junior year, serving as a practice opportunity for future college entrance exams.
