The current PSAT takes 2 hours and 14 minutes for the test itself, excluding breaks. This is a digital test format introduced in Fall 2023, where the exam is divided into two main sections — Reading & Writing and Math — each split into two modules. There is a 10-minute break between these sections, so including the break, the total time spent for the PSAT is approximately 2 hours and 24 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes overall. Key timing details:
- Reading & Writing: 64 minutes total (two 32-minute modules)
- Math: 70 minutes total (two 35-minute modules)
- One 10-minute break between the sections
Thus, the entire PSAT testing experience including breaks lasts close to two and a half hours.
