Irvine PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The Preliminary SAT, or PSAT, can qualify your child for the National Merit Scholarship program, but it's more important benefit is serving as a "dry run" for the actual SAT your student will need to be able to get into college. It's an important preparatory step, and your child needs to take the examination seriously.
