I am currently a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology, but I have been tutoring ever since I was in elementary school.

Matthew
Most PSAT prep overlooks pacing — students know the content but run out of time on the Evidence-Based Reading passages or rush through the Writing and Language section. Matthew scored a 1530 on the SAT and a 35 on the ACT, so he's navigated both major test formats and knows how to teach the timing i...

I am also figuring out the reason the student doesn't understand the material in the first place. I also have always enjoyed the perspective I get from teaching. It gives me a better overall understanding of the subject, so I am even more prepared for future lessons and future jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your first session typically focuses on understanding your current strengths and challenges. A tutor will review your practice test scores, discuss your target score, and identify which sections (Math, Reading & Writing, or both) need the most attention. This diagnostic approach helps create a personalized study plan tailored to your goals and timeline.
Score improvement varies based on your starting point and how consistently you practice, but students typically see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Many students improve by 50-100+ points by targeting their specific weak areas—whether that's pacing on the Math section, vocabulary in Reading & Writing, or test-taking strategy overall. The key is consistent practice combined with personalized feedback on what you're missing.
Pacing is one of the most common PSAT challenges, and tutors address it by teaching you to recognize question types quickly and prioritize easier questions first. You'll practice timed drills on individual sections, learn to manage the 2 hours and 45 minutes strategically, and develop a personal pacing plan that plays to your strengths. Many students find that understanding *when* to skip a difficult question is just as important as solving it correctly.
The best way is to take a full practice test under timed conditions and analyze your results by question type and content area. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can review your practice tests in detail, pinpoint patterns in what you're missing (like specific grammar rules, algebra concepts, or reading comprehension strategies), and build targeted lessons around those gaps. This data-driven approach is much more effective than studying everything equally.
That depends on your diagnostic scores and goals. Many students find Reading & Writing more challenging because it requires vocabulary knowledge, quick comprehension, and understanding nuanced writing rules. However, Math can be harder if you have gaps in algebra or geometry fundamentals. A tutor will help you prioritize based on where you're losing the most points and which section has the most room for improvement given your timeline.
Confidence comes from preparation and familiarity. Working with a tutor means you'll take multiple practice tests, learn proven test-taking strategies, and understand exactly what to expect on test day—all of which reduce anxiety significantly. Tutors also teach stress-management techniques like pacing yourself, staying focused when you encounter difficult questions, and building mental resilience through repeated practice under realistic conditions.
Most students benefit from taking 3-5 full practice tests spaced throughout their study period, with the final one 1-2 weeks before test day. Each practice test should be taken under timed, realistic conditions, then reviewed thoroughly with your tutor to identify patterns and refine your approach. Quality review of each test matters more than quantity—understanding *why* you missed questions is what drives improvement.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors experienced in PSAT preparation who understand the test's format, timing challenges, and scoring. You can share your goals, current score, and preferred study schedule, and we'll match you with a tutor who fits your needs. Whether you're aiming to improve your score for college readiness or National Merit consideration, you'll get personalized instruction tailored to your situation.
