How the PSAT/NMSQT reports it

PSAT/NMSQT uses the same SAT Suite digital test design and shared math content domains as SAT and the other PSATs. College Board states these tests assess the same group of skills and knowledge, with content aligned to the SAT Suite’s domain framework rather than a state-specific blueprint.

Blueprint & weighting

College Board’s SAT Suite math content domains are used for reporting and preparation, but the primary sources retrieved here did not provide a PSAT/NMSQT-specific published item percentage by domain in accessible form.

A triangle has sides 55, 1212, and 1313. What is its area?

This is a right triangle (55-1212-1313). Area =12×5×12=30= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 12 = 30.

Two angles are supplementary. One measures 120°120°. What is the other?

180−120=60°180 - 120 = 60°.

A circle has a diameter of 2020 feet. What is the circumference, in feet, of the circle?

The circumference of a circle is C=πdC = \pi d. Substitute d=20d = 20: C=π(20)=20π.C = \pi(20) = 20\pi\textsf{.}

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases b1=7b_1 = 7 and b2=10b_2 = 10 and height h=6h = 6.

Trapezoid area =12(b1+b2)⋅h=12(7+10)⋅6=12(17)⋅6=51= \dfrac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2}(7 + 10) \cdot 6 = \dfrac{1}{2}(17) \cdot 6 = 51.

A rhombus has diagonals of length 7 ft7\text{ ft} and 8 ft.8\text{ ft}\textsf{.} What is its area?

The area of a rhombus is half the product of the diagonals: 12⋅7⋅8=28 ft2.\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 7 \cdot 8 = 28\text{ ft}^{2}\textsf{.}

A sector of a circle has radius 6 m6\text{ m} and central angle 90∘.90^{\circ}\textsf{.} What is the area of the sector?

The area of the whole circle is πr2=π⋅62=36π.\pi r^{2} = \pi \cdot 6^{2} = 36\pi\textsf{.} A 90∘90^{\circ} sector is 90360=14\dfrac{90}{360} = \dfrac{1}{4} of the circle, so the area is 14⋅36π=9π m2.\dfrac{1}{4} \cdot 36\pi = 9\pi\text{ m}^{2}\textsf{.}

A circle in the coordinate plane has a diameter with endpoints (0,0)(0, 0) and (6,8).(6, 8)\textsf{.} What is the radius of the circle?

The diameter length is (6−0)2+(8−0)2=36+64=100=10.\sqrt{(6 - 0)^2 + (8 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10\textsf{.} The radius is half the diameter, so r=102=5.r = \dfrac{10}{2} = 5\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

The equation (x−2)2+(y+1)2=16(x - 2)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 16 represents Circle A. Circle B is obtained by shifting Circle A down 33 units in the coordinate plane. Which of the following equations represents Circle B?

Circle A has center (2,−1)(2, -1) and radius 44. Shifting down 33 moves the center to (2,−4)(2, -4), so Circle B is (x−2)2+(y+4)2=16(x - 2)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 16.
