Smithtown PSAT Tutoring FAQ
If the thought of the SAT makes you nervous, you should consider preparing for and completing the Preliminary SAT, a 2 hour and 45 minute test meant to prepare students for the SAT. Most students, during the fall of their sophomore or junior year of high school, complete the PSAT, which measures your skills in reading, writing, and math. If you struggle in any of these test subject areas, the educational directors at Varsity Tutors are happy to try to help you find an independent, professional PSAT tutor in Smithtown, NY.
Taking the PSAT can give you a general idea of how much preparation you will need to complete before you take on the SAT.

Tutors are available to meet in the home or other locations and offer face-to-face online tutoring as well. While the PSAT does not affect your admittance into any prospective colleges or universities, striving to potentially improve on certain PSAT versions can create an opportunity for National Merit Scholarships and other awards.
Tutoring has advantages for both students who are struggling in a subject area and students who are doing well, but want to strengthen their skills. As you prepare for the PSAT, you will find that tutoring offers a distraction-free environment essential for learning. Compared to a classroom setting, tutoring sessions allow students to freely ask questions until they fully understand them, and offers a more individualized learning experience where the student can focus on their problem areas, without pressure from their peers.

The experts at Varsity Tutors are happy to find you an excellent tutor in Smithtown that will address your studying concerns as you prepare to tackle the PSAT.
