Irvine PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The Preliminary SAT, or PSAT, can qualify your child for the National Merit Scholarship program, but it's more important benefit is serving as a "dry run" for the actual SAT your student will need to be able to get into college. It's an important preparatory step, and your child needs to take the examination seriously. By treating the PSAT as an essential milestone, your child could establish efficient study techniques and test taking strategies they'll need to do on the SAT. An expert PSAT tutor in Irvine, CA, can help your child develop their possibility of success on the SAT.
The PSAT is two and three quarters hours long, and its questions give attention to evidence-based reading, writing and language, and mathematics. Since your child's score on the PSAT is not part of their college applications, kids can succumb to the temptation to not take the exam very seriously. This attitude, however, can cheat them of the advantages of taking the test. First, studying for the PSAT in an organized, methodical fashion will allow your child to learn what educational techniques work best for them.

If they've prepared diligently for the PSAT, their score will reflect where they currently stand in comparison to students across the country. It's important to find any weaknesses your student may have, as they still have time to correct them in high school.
