Allen PSAT Tutoring FAQ
Your child is scheduled to take an upcoming Preliminary Standard Aptitude Test (PSAT) and you want to give him or her the best advantage. That's the best strategy because the PSAT is the preparation test for the big SAT for college admissions and perhaps scholarship awards.
To try to meet your child's goals of scoring high for recognition, educators acknowledge and recommend a professional tutor. Varsity Tutors can help you find a professional PSAT tutor in Allen, TX, to work with your child towards adequate preparation to excel on test day.
A new challenge for the PSAT is that the SAT was thoroughly revised in recent years, the biggest change in 30 years. The PSAT now aligns with these changes. The new focus is on evidence-based reading, writing, and math. This means students must seek the facts when reading, to choose the correct answers. For math, students need to understand data analyzing to score well with algebra and advanced math. An expert PSAT tutor in Allen can bring your child up to speed in no time.
The format of the two-hour-and-45-minute PSAT has three evidence-based sections. The reading section allows 60 minutes to answer 47 questions. The writing section gives students 35 minutes to answer 44 questions. The math section allows 70 minutes to answer 47 questions. That's 165 minutes to answer 138 questions, a bit more than one minute for each. Your child's tutor will rehearse scores of sample questions to strive to ensure top-tier performance on the test.
Professional tutoring is not just for those who need remedial help. Many top-rated student's use subject-specific tutoring to sustain their academic edge whenever they need it. To launch your child's study plan, your PSAT tutor will first assess your child's skills, strengths, and weaknesses.
Then, the tutor will create a custom plan that focuses on what your child needs to know for the test. If the tutor sees your child needs review in any area, the tutor will drill the subject matter as often as needed to reinforce learning. An expert tutor in Allen will develop a unique study plan that might maximize your child's PSAT test score.
Best of all, the tutoring dates, times, and locations are of your choosing. You child can meet at home, in the library, or any public venue. If your child cannot meet in person, he or she can access an online learning platform to interact with the tutor directly. Call the Varsity Tutors' educational directors in Allen, TX, to connect with a PSAT tutor who will engage your child to pursue top-tier results.
