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.
When it's time to take the SAT, you want to be ready. This standardized test is very important if you plan to attend a college or university. And, you must score very well if you want to get into an elite school. But, because the scores are sent to your prospective schools, you want to try to be sure you're prepared to get a score of value. Well, that's what the PSAT (Preliminary SAT) is for: practicing taking the real exam. It resembles the SAT, which makes it a very valuable tool for preparing yourself for the real deal. The premise is that if you potentially do well on the practice test, you'll potentially do well on the other. If you're still concerned, a tutor could help. Varsity Tutors can find you an expert PSAT tutor in Waltham, MA, who can develop a study plan that is designed specifically with you in mind.
Unlike the SAT, your PSAT scores are never sent to schools you apply to attend. However, these scores are a deciding factor for various scholarships and awards, including the National Merit Scholarships. About $180 million in scholarships are awarded to those who test high on the PSAT. This could cover your college costs, or at least assist. So, what's the key to scoring well on the standardized preliminary test? A PSAT tutor will work with you to customize a program that focuses on areas in which you need more work and practice. Your tutor will also share experiences and tips already known about the test to increase your chances of scoring well. Try to maximize your productivity by calling the Varsity Tutors educational directors in Waltham to find an expert tutor in the PSAT.
You could work in a one-on-one setting with your tutor to prepare for this test, also known as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). The individualized attention will allow your tutor to design a plan for you to try to improve in weak areas. A PSAT tutor we can find you in Waltham will afford you the type of individualized attention that simply won't be possible in a classroom.
Learn in the comfort of your own home, or another place of convenience. There are also online sessions, where you can meet with your tutor face-to-face via our live learning platform. A skilled PSAT tutor in Waltham, MA, will take your interests into account to create engrossing study sessions that keep you focused and engaged the entire time.
