PSAT TEST PREP
The PSAT is like a practice for the SAT! It also serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Students who take the PSAT in the 11th grade are automatically entered to compete for this prestigious award, which can help them get into top-ranked colleges and universities as well as receive scholarships.
- PSAT prep will improve students’ confidence before the exam, give them a head start on preparation for the SAT and ACT, and increase their chances of qualifying for the National Merit Scholarship.
Important considerations about the PSAT:
- There are different versions of the PSAT! The PSAT 8 offers 8th graders the chance for on-level SAT practice and is sometimes used as a qualifying test for elementary and middle school summer programs. The PSAT 9/10 is virtually identical to the PSAT 8 and offers great practice for 10th graders hoping to compete for the National Merit Scholarship in 11th grade.
- All versions of the PSAT are designed to predict future SAT performance, so PSAT scores can show you how you’d do on the SAT as a junior or senior.
- Colleges often seek students who qualify to compete for the National Merit Scholarship.
A thorough review of the PSAT score report is another way for students to evaluate how much learning they need to do before they take the actual SAT test, giving them a solid foundation for SAT success.
