Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the PSAT 10 and PSAT/NMSQT?
The PSAT 10 is taken in 10th grade as a practice run. The PSAT/NMSQT is taken in 11th grade and serves as the qualifying test for National Merit Scholarships. Both test the same skills — Koydo covers them in a single adaptive plan.
When should my child start PSAT prep?
Starting in 9th or 10th grade gives students the most time to build skills gradually. Koydo's adaptive engine adjusts to any starting level, so early starters never feel overwhelmed and late starters can still make meaningful progress.
Does PSAT prep on Koydo also prepare for the SAT?
Yes. The PSAT and SAT share the same skill domains and question types. Everything your child practices on Koydo for the PSAT directly transfers to SAT readiness. When they are ready, they can switch to full SAT mode in one click.
