Receive personally tailored PSAT lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.
The Preliminary SAT (PSAT) is a standardized test that helps students with their preparation for the SAT. There are three versions of the test, including the PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, and the PSAT/NMSQT. The PSAT 8/9 is offered to students in grades eight and nine. The PSAT 10 is given by students in grade ten Finally, the PSAT/NMSQT is available to students in either grades ten and eleven.
The PSAT takes approximately three hours to complete and is made up of three different sections. These include math and evidence based reading and writing. The math section involves advanced math, data analysis, problem solving, and algebra. The evidence based reading and writing section focuses on text complexity, informational graphics, command of evidence, and words in context.
It is common for students to not put a lot of effort into studying for the PSAT because they view it as a practice test. But there are actually several reasons why your child should take the PSAT seriously. Preparing for the PSAT will provide them with insight into which areas they need extra practice in for the SAT. Taking the PSAT will also assist them in becoming familiar with the exam. Finally, the PSAT/NMSQT version of the exam is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. If your child does well on this exam, they may be able to earn a college scholarship. If you want to try to make sure that your child is prepared for the PSAT, you should contact a private tutor.
