Essex County PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The PSAT is a test that helps students prepare for the SAT. It is also known as the NMSQT, National Merit Qualifying Scholarship Test, and enables students to enter the National Merit Scholarship Corporation scholarship program. Colleges and universities don't consider students' PSAT scores when making admission decisions; however, they are interested in seeing whether students were recognized as a commended scholar or a national merit scholar. If your student is preparing to take the PSAT, working with a private tutor may prove to be beneficial. Contact Varsity Tutors to get connected with PSAT tutors in Essex County, NJ.

In 2015, the College Board made changes to the PSAT to reflect changes in the SAT. Changes were made to the types of questions, scoring scale, and the format. Also, multiple different exam types were introduced for students in various grade levels. The PSAT 8/9 is taken in the spring or fall of 8th or 9th grade year, and has a total possible score of 1440. It is used as a baseline of student progress. The PSAT/NMSQT is taken during the fall of 10th or 11th grade, and it is most similar to the original exam. The highest score students can achieve on this exam is 1520. Taken during the spring of 10th grade, the PSAT 10 has the same content and total possible score as the PSAT/NMSQT; however, it can't be used for scholarship qualification. All of these versions allow students 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete them. Whichever version your child is planning to take, a private tutor could help them perform well on test day. Let us help you find PSAT tutoring in Essex County to try to help your child prepare for their test.
