Elite Sets
Hard PSAT/NMSQT® math questions, and an honest read on why you miss them
A 13-question set of hard, original math questions at the top difficulty band, timed at 21 minutes — the same per-question pace as the real thing. It is a diagnostic, not a full-length practice test: 13 questions can show you which traps catch you and where your pacing breaks, but they cannot measure how you hold up across a whole module.
What you get at the end
Every wrong choice in this set is a deliberately designed trap with a name. Your results show which ones caught you, which ones caught you while you felt certain, and where you spent time on a question you still got wrong.
Set 1 is multiple-choice math only. Student-produced-response questions arrive in later sets, and Reading & Writing is a separate project.
Calculator allowed — use your own, exactly as you would on test day.
Every question here is written from scratch by a human, checked by a second solver, and logged with its provenance. No College Board material is copied, paraphrased, or used anywhere in the process — including as input to any AI tool.
No account, no name, no login. A random ID is generated in your browser and stored with your answers, your timings, your device type, and the link you arrived from. It is not linked to your identity — but it is pseudonymous rather than anonymous: if you pay the $10 reservation, Stripe collects your email for delivery and that payment carries the same random ID, which connects the two.
Intended for students aged 14 and over. It is not directed at children under 13, and we ask that under-13s not use it.
