Newton PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The PSAT, or Preliminary SAT, is a standardized test administered to students in senior high school that are preparing to take the SAT. The SAT is a significant test which college admissions boards use as an element of their process for determining which students they need to admit to their school. That is why scoring well on the SAT, and also by extension the PSAT, is so important. Students that potentially do well on the PSAT are far more willing to take the SAT, which can be the difference-maker between gaining acceptance to your ideal university or not. If you are currently getting yourself ready for the PSAT and may use some help, one great way to get that help is by signing up to work with a private tutor. Luckily, Varsity Tutors could help you see Newton, MA, tutors to try to help you hone your PSAT skills and potentially do well on your exam.
