Receive personally tailored PSAT lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.Many students do not prepare as much as they should for the Preliminary SAT (PSAT). They believe that it is just a practice test for the actual SAT, so it isn't really necessary to study for it. But there are several reasons why your child should take the PSAT seriously. Going to college can be an expensive proposition. Performing well on the PSAT can help alleviate this burden because it is also the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Thus, if your child does well enough on the exam, they may be eligible for a scholarship for college. Additionally, while the PSAT may not play a role in determining whether your child gets into college or not, the SAT does. Thus, it only makes sense for your child to do their best on the PSAT because it might give them an idea as the types of questions they are likely to face on the SAT. Their score on the PSAT will also give them insight into what areas they are already proficient in and what areas they still need to work on. If you are concerned that your child is not as prepared for the PSAT as they should be, you should connect them with a private tutor. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are skilled at helping students in Pleasanton, CA, connect with PSAT tutors.
