PSAT Writing teaches students to master grammar, punctuation, and effective writing skills needed for the PSAT and beyond.
Writers use rhetorical skills to persuade, inform, or entertain. On the PSAT, questions may ask why an author chose a particular word, phrase, or structure.
Recognizing rhetorical moves helps you analyze speeches, ads, and articles—and craft your own effective writing.
These skills are valuable in debate, leadership, and any career involving communication.
