The Preliminary SAT, or PSAT, is essentially the practice test for the SAT. The PSAT is also referred to as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, or the NMSQT. There are three versions of the test, each of which allows a student two hours and 45 minutes to complete. There is the PSAT/NMSQT, which is taken in 10th or 11th grades in the fall, which can be used for a scholarship. There is also the PSAT 10, which covers the same content but cannot be used for the scholarship. The PSAT 8/9 serves as a baseline for student progress. It's taken in the 8th and 9th-grade years and has a possible score of 1440. All of the versions consist of a Math section and an Evidence-based Reading and Writing section. If your child is preparing to take their PSAT, offer them personalized guidance with one of the PSAT tutors in Portland, Oregon. Varsity Tutors' educational directors are experienced at helping students in Portland, Oregon, find independent PSAT tutors.
The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can connect you with tutors in Portland who are skilled at helping students prepare for the PSAT. They are well-versed in the content on the exam, which may allow your child to work with a professional who has succeeded in supporting many other students on their PSAT. The tutor is chosen based on your child's test, strengths, weaknesses, learning personality, and other factors.
The tutor you are connected with will create a personal study plan that focuses on the concepts your child needs to review or learn. They can help to fill in any learning gaps that may have been caused by traditional classroom-based learning, as well as help to bolster your child's confidence. Your child can work at their natural pace, while the tutor simply slows down or speeds up to keep up with them. The tutor will work with your child to try to improve their math, reading, and writing skills of any topics they need while providing valuable test-taking strategies to try to improve their timing.
Varsity Tutors' educational directors can assist you in connecting with a tutor in Portland who could potentially help them understand the concepts of the PSAT on your schedule. Tutoring can and should be convenient. You can meet the tutor at your home with your child anytime, or they can meet your child at the school, for optimal convenience.
