This document contains the simulated questions based on content domains ( reading and writing) for the PSAT-10 practice test
INSTRUCTIONS: Below is a practice test based on the provided domains, skills, and sample questions, aligned with the structure of the PSAT-10 Reading and Writing section as outlined in the College Board resource. The test includes five multiple-choice questions covering the domains of Information and Ideas, Craft and Structure, Expression of Ideas, and Standard English Conventions. Each question includes a passage or prompt, four answer choices, and a correct answer with a brief explanation. The questions are designed to mirror the style and rigor of the sample questions provided.
Alignment with PSAT-10 Structure
- Reading and Writing Test: The 25 questions cover all four domains (Information and Ideas: 8, Craft and Structure: 7, Expression of Ideas: 5, Standard English Conventions: 5), mirroring the PSAT-10 Reading and Writing section’s focus on evidence-based analysis, vocabulary, rhetorical skills, and grammar. Passages are concise (25–150 words), and questions test skills like identifying central ideas, analyzing text relationships, and correcting sentence errors.
- Difficulty and Scope: Both tests are designed for 10th-grade students, with questions ranging from straightforward to moderately challenging, consistent with the PSAT-10’s college and career readiness focus.
- Format: Questions adhere to the multiple-choice format with four options, and passages/prompts are crafted to match the PSAT-10’s style and structure.
