Oak Park PSAT Tutoring FAQ
If you're the parent of a junior high school student, you might be wondering what all the talk is about the PSAT and whether it concerns your teen. If you have a child who is weak in some academic areas or perhaps panics when taking tests, Varsity Tutors is happy to try to help you find an independent PSAT tutor in Oak Park.
The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) is also known as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) and is a standardized test the College Board uses to determine whether a student is eligible for the National Merit Scholarship Program. The PSAT is also used in preparation for taking the SAT, which assesses a student's readiness for college entrance. This makes the PSAT mandatory for students hoping to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship, and vital for all students who plan to attend college.
The PSAT has two main sections. The math section covers data analysis, problem solving, algebra, advanced math, and other mathematical topics. The reading and writing section covers informational graphics, using words in context, the complexity of text, and the student's command of evidence. Unlike the SAT, the PSAT may only be taken once, which makes a successful score vital for your college-bound teen. If you don't think your teen is ready to take the test, Varsity Tutors could help you connect with a professional PSAT tutor in Oak Park, IL.
A tutor can be matched to your child's personality as well as their needs, so if they're only weak in one area, the tutor can focus on that particular area. Tutors also bring real-world experience to the concepts, which can make them easier to comprehend. They can even help your child potentially develop career interests and goals. If you think your student needs help, feel free to contact one of our educational directors to get connected with PSAT tutors in Oak Park, IL.
A PSAT tutor could help with any or all aspects of the test and can provide coaching in a specific area, assign study matter between tutoring sessions, give test-taking help, and give mock tests to try to help your child be as ready as possible. You can easily connect with a qualified PSAT tutor in Oak Park by contacting one of our educational directors, who will match you with a qualified tutor. Tutoring sessions can be anywhere and at any time: at your home, in a library or coffee shop, or online. Contact Varsity Tutors to begin the process, and help your teen do the best they possibly can!
