==Popular culture== In recent years, it has become a popular subject of discourse among test-takers on various social media networks. Many of them poke fun at passages or questions in the PSAT that they find strange or amusing. The level of discussion is so significant that in 2013, the [[hashtag]] #PSAT reached trending status on [[Twitter]] near its administration date.<ref name="psatangst">{{cite news|last1=Strauss|first1=Valerie|work=[[The Washington Post]]|title=#PSAT β Students tweet amusing reactions to standardized test|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2013/10/16/student-angst-over-taking-the-psat-in-five-tweets/|date=2013-10-16}}</ref> This is even though since 2012, test participants have been required to copy and sign a statement agreeing to the test regulations, which include not discussing the test. Previously, that statement had to be written in [[cursive]], a requirement that had drawn ire from both students and teachers, as many students found writing the statement in cursive to be difficult. However, in 2015, the requirement to write the statement in cursive was removed.<ref name="psatangst" /><ref>{{cite web|title=Teacher fights cursive requirement on PSAT|url=http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/teacher-fights-cursive-requirement-psat/nhp7b/|access-date=16 March 2015|location=Douglas County, GA|date=2014-10-22}}</ref>
