Alexandria PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The PSAT, or Preliminary SAT, is a test that prepares your student for taking the SAT. The SAT is a globally-recognized college admission test. The PSAT adopted some changes in 2015 to mirror the changes in the SAT. Considering the importance of being prepared and aware of what the PSAT contains it is advisable to seek experienced help. There are tutors that specifically specialize in the nuances of this test that could offer expert assistance. Call Varsity Tutors today to find PSAT tutors in Alexandria.
The major single change to the test is the addition of a test made available to eighth and ninth graders, the PSAT 8/9, and one available in the spring for tenth graders, called the PSAT 10. Still available is the standard test given in the fall for tenth and eleventh graders, also known as the NMSQT or the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. If your student's score is high enough they could qualify for scholarship dollars to put towards their education. Determining what test to take and how to properly study can be made simple with a tutor with real-world credentials. For assistance in connecting with an experienced PSAT tutor in Alexandria contact Varsity Tutors.
All students display different aptitudes concerning the sections covered in the PSAT. It's challenging for a teacher in a typical classroom setting to adjust to the separate learning styles of each student. This is the advantage your student could experience with an excellent tutor. Let Varsity Tutors hand-pick a PSAT tutor in Alexandria, VA, who can work with your student's individual learning style, abilities, and personality. With a similar personality a special connection can be created. Your tutor has a love for the subject matter on the PSAT and this can be transferred to the student. Tutoring sessions that are free of distractions allow students to focus on their problem areas, improving their academic performance and stimulating personal growth.
The PSAT is a two hour and forty-five-minute test that measures a student's skill in reading, writing, and math. Your tutor can provide intensive practice for your student in a structured learning environment. The sessions necessary can take place at your home, a local park, or the public library. Your tutor is very flexible. Daytime, evening, or weekend sessions can be scheduled. Online sessions are available upon request.
