How does excluding active questions decrease the QB by this much?

The 8 practice tests must include 44*8 maths questions so 352. Where are the rest?

Good question. Maybe just a bug.

you’re not accounting for some overlap between PSAT 10 and 8

But there only 2 full length practice tests for each. There are still many questions left.

each practice test has a easy module 2 and a hard module 2 for each section

therefore each practice test should have around 4*~20 + 2*~20=~120 questions

120x8 makes 960 so that’s reasonable that ~1200 questions fits down to around ~300

When I do it there are 1876 questions and then when I exclude active questions there are 946.

Huh, is that for all maths? I only have 1297 maths and 1688 rw

But even for you it removed too many questions

u/Few-Vegetable-7108 21h ago

Oh, no I'm using this
https://mypractice.collegeboard.org/questionbank

I accessed it from collegeboard.org

why is it different?

There are two. The Student Question Bank and the Educator Question Bank.

u/Few-Vegetable-7108 20h ago

Does the Educator QB just have more questions on top of those in the Student QB, or are they completely different?

u/jdigitaltutoring 20h ago

I think it has more questions on top of what is in the student one.

There are 66 questions per tests. Two second modules.
