Taking the PSAT/NMSQT® Exam with an Approved Calculator


The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a program cosponsored by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).

As with the SAT exam, the College Board does not provide a list of specific calculators models that are approved for usage. According to their site any graphing calculator, scientific calculator, or four-function calculator is approved* for usage provided that it:

  • is a standalone device (e.g., not part of a cell phone or PDA)
  • is not a stylus-driven device
  • does not utilize a writing pad
  • does not have a QWERTY (typewriter-like) keypad
  • does not have printing capabilities.


Calculator Town
sells several calculators that are approved for use on the PSAT exam. Click on the links below to learn more about and buy these approved calculators.




* Calculators can only be used on the mathematics portion of the PSAT exam.
