<p>so what is the difference between psats and sats in term of hardness? is one harder than the other or are they about the same? all i knw is that psats are shorter? thanks!</p>
<p>It depends on the person. To me they were about the same (though I did do better on the PSAT). The two main differences are that the SAT has an essay and is longer.</p>
<p>Difficulty is fairly equivalent. SAT has a few more difficult math questions (algebra II level) and the essay, as mentioned above.</p>
<p>PSAT is a just a shortened SAT without an essay. The questions are no less difficult on it or more difficult on the SAT.</p>
