Brookline PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The PSAT, or Preliminary SAT, is an exam administered by high schools to introduce students to the real SAT before they take it in their senior year. The PSAT comes in several formats, one of which is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, or NMSQT. The NMSQT allows students to gain notice among post-secondary institutions, as well as potentially win the one-time scholarship award. It is common for semifinalists of the NMSQT to gain recognition among their top choice of schools or even to receive scholarships from companies. There is the PSAT 8/9, which is meant to be a baseline of student progress among 8th and 9th grade students. Finally, the PSAT 10 is identical to the NMSQT, but it can't be used for the scholarship. Each version covers math and evidence-based reading and writing sections with a total of two hours and 45 minutes allotted to complete it. You could help your child prepare for their PSAT by contacting Varsity Tutors. Varsity Tutors could help you find a skilled, independent tutor near Brookline who can guide your child on the path toward PSAT understanding.
