How to Proctor a PSAT Practice Test Online

The real PSAT/NMSQT is a digital exam delivered through College Board's Bluebook app, but it is given in-school under teacher supervision -- not remotely proctored by a third party. That leaves practice tests as the main remote-proctoring use case: tutoring centers and homeschool groups running the full 2-hour-14-minute format so students get an accurate read on pacing across 98 questions before the real thing.
