When is the PSAT (Practice SAT)?

Question

I'm about to be a sophomore in high school (Class of 2011) and I wanted to know when the PSAT is given. Is it the same for all of California or is it just locally? Any ideas?

Answer 1

It's given in late October every year on a Wednesday and a Saturday of the same week, across the nation.

Answer 2

it doesn't stand for practice SAT, its preliminary SAT
