Sacramento PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, or PSAT, is a standardized test taken by high school students as practice for the SAT. Varsity Tutors can connect your student with a professional PSAT tutor in Sacramento, CA, who could teach your student how to study effectively. Performing well on the exam is important because it provides an indication of how a student could do on the SAT. In addition, a good score can make your child eligible for a National Merit Scholarship. The exam is given once a year, usually in October. Most students take the exam during their junior year of high school, though there are alternate versions that can be taken in 8th, 9th, or 10th grade. The PSAT is also used as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). Only the score on the 11th grade exam can be used for the National Merit Scholarship Program. Students with very high PSAT scores can become finalists for prestigious scholarships. In addition, many colleges and universities seek to attract National Merit Scholars and will provide additional scholarships and incentives to high scoring students. We can find you a talented PSAT tutor in Sacramento, CA, who can work with students at all proficiency levels.
The PSAT is designed to have similar types of questions and format as the SAT. Recently, the PSAT has been revised to reflect changes in the SAT. The exam assesses your child's abilities in two main areas. There is one section on evidence-based reading and writing and one section on math. In the reading section, students are asked to draw evidence-based conclusions from literature, science, history, and social science passages. For writing, students must demonstrate knowledge of punctuation, grammar, and word usage. The math questions assess the ability to solve algebra problems, analyze data, and use advanced math equations.
One-on-one tutoring in Sacramento can afford your child the ability to fine-tune their PSAT skills by asking questions and getting immediate feedback. There are many benefits to working with a tutor for test preparation. Though many of the skills assessed by the test are things students learn in school, a tutor can focus on areas needing the most development and teach them in the way that is easiest for the student to understand. A tutor can also provide a wide variety of study materials and test-taking strategies which can have a dramatic effect on your child's score. The tutor can schedule sessions at a convenient time and location, such as in your home or a local coffee shop. Sessions can even be conducted face-to-face online. Why let your child struggle to figure out how to succeed on the PSAT when an expert can train them to perform their best? Varsity Tutors can connect you with tutors in Sacramento who are skilled at helping students prepare for the PSAT. Working on-on-one with a PSAT tutor in Sacramento, CA, can make studying easier.
