…the best practices for developing literacy in secondary education students. At school, we examined the problems with deficit learning, a type of teaching all too common in schools today. Deficit learning focuses on what a student doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already...

The Preliminary SAT (PSAT) is a standardized test that is designed to help students prepare for the SAT. There are three different versions of the PSAT. These include the PSAT 8/9, the PSAT 10, and the PSAT/NMSQT. The PSAT 8/9 is given to students in grades eight and nine. The PSAT 10 is taken by students in grade ten. Finally, the PSAT/NMSQT is administered to students in grades ten and eleven.
The PSAT consists of two sections and takes approximately three hours to complete. The two sections include math and evidence based reading and writing. The math section covers algebra, problem solving, data analysis, and advanced math. The evidence based reading and writing section focuses on words in context, command of evidence, informational graphics, and text complexity.
It is common for students to not take the PSAT seriously because it is simply viewed as practice for the SAT. While the PSAT is designed to prepare for the SAT, it should not be taken lightly because of how important the SAT is. The PSAT can provide insight into the type of material your child is likely to face on the SAT. It will also give them some idea as to what the style and format of the SAT will be. Additionally, performing well on the PSAT/NMSQT exam may make your child eligible to qualify for a National Merit Scholarship. If you want to try to make sure that your child is prepared for the PSAT, you should connect them with a private tutor. Varsity Tutors' educational directors can help your child connect with a professional PSAT tutor in Norwalk.
