PSAT Test Dates

The PSAT is offered in October/November each year. Because high schools rather than individual test centers administer the PSAT, each school decides when to give the test to its students. The possible PSAT test dates for 2020:

Primary test day: Wednesday, October 14, 2020

Saturday test day: October 17, 2020

Alternate test day: Thursday, October 29, 2020

NEW: Tuesday, January 26, 2021 (Only added for the 2020–2021 school year)
