The PSAT, or Preliminary SAT, is a standardized test taken by juniors in high school. The test is not going to be used like the SAT, to determine your entrance into the best colleges, but it is used for two things. First, it helps you understand where you are at in terms of being able to successfully complete the SAT so you will know what you need to study. Second, as the test is also called the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, or NMSQT, it is used to determine whether you will be offered the prestigious National Merit Scholarship. If you're preparing for the PSAT, Varsity Tutors' educational directors can assist you in finding an experienced tutor in Santa Monica, CA.

The benefit of having a private tutor is that they will work with you in the areas you need the most work and fly through the areas where you are comfortable in your knowledge.
