Has anyone taken the PST recently? I received an invitation to write it and they mentioned that the PST is now 90 minutes (vs. 60 minutes in the practice test). Does anyone know if there are still 26 questions? Or do we now have the pleasure of answering more questions in the available 90 minutes? :)

I took the PST recently - it was 60 minutes and 26 questions. I didn't finish, guessed on the last few - still passed.
How much time you get for the
How much time you get for the PST depends on where you apply. If you're not a native English speaker, you often get 70 minutes, instead of the standard 60 minutes. More info on the PST can be found here:

Hmmm, I took it just last month and it was definitely 60 minutes and 26 questions for me! I'd hypothesize that they will have added more questions or more complex questions if they've lengthened it; but I have no data to back that up ;)

I don't know for sure on # of questions, but would speculate they just increased the time allowed because in the past so few people actually finished.

Is anyone familiar with what kind of score they are looking for on the test by the way?

I'm interested in the same^ thing. Also maybe somebody has some extra practice materials (apart from Kosher&Fiji) they'd be willing to share? I'm super-worried: I have a PST coming up and I scored only like 13 out of 23 I managed to do on the Kosher test and 8 out of 10 on the Fiji. Failing the test would be such a waste of opportunity I would really like to avoid.. By the way, for me, as a non-native speaker, the test is 75min, while for native speakers it's still 60min.
