Garland PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The PSAT is an exam that is used as a preparation tool for students who are about to take the SAT. There are several different versions of the test that your child may be taking - the PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, and the PSAT/NMSQT. The PSAT 8/9 is offered to students in eighth grade and ninth. The PSAT 10 is available to students in tenth grade, while the PSAT/NMSQT is taken by tenth and eleventh grade students. The PSAT/NMSQT is also used as a qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship. The PSAT consists of two sections -- evidence-based reading and writing and math.
The PSAT provides good practice for the SAT because it gives your child an idea as to the type of material that will likely be on the SAT. This allows them to see exactly which areas they need to spend the most time studying in their preparation for the SAT. It also allows them to get some valuable experience with the format that the SAT will be in. If your child is registered to take any version of the PSAT, then a tutor can help them prepare. Let Varsity Tutors help you locate an experienced PSAT tutor in Garland, Texas, who can help your child develop an individualized study plan.
A personal Garland, TX, PSAT tutor can cater sessions to your child's preferences in a way that they won't get in a traditional classroom setting or test prep course. Your child can work at their own pace and only focus on those areas they need additional work on. This doesn't often happen in a group study setting because not every student will have the same problem areas.
Varsity Tutors can help you find your child an expert Garland PSAT tutor, who can create engaging sessions, so they enjoy preparing for the PSAT. Preparing for the PSAT can be stressful and tedious. But your child's private tutor can be there for guidance and support throughout the entire process.

So if your child would like to meet their tutor at the public library, at your house, or at Embree Park, they are free to do so.
