More on the New PSAT for Eighth Graders

October 27th, 2008 by Jason Marks

As I reported in an earlier post, the College Board has planned to add a new test, a miniature version of the PSAT, to its arsenal of tests.  ReadiStep would be given to eighth graders and have three 40 minute sections:  1 math, 1 verbal, 1 writing.  The level of difficulty of the test would be consistent with eighth grade expectations. The test will be available for use next fall.  It will be interesting to see a sample version of the test and measure exactly what level the College Board sees for eighth grade performance.
