Maximize your scoring potential by becoming familiar with the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test). Learn strategies for general test taking as well as for approaching specific types of questions found in both the math and reading parts of the test. You will take practice tests, review your answers and have an opportunity to ask questions. The class includes review of algebra and problem solving, concentrating on similar problems found on the new SAT test.
Don’t underestimate the importance of the PSAT. High scores can help you win scholarships, qualify for the National Merit Scholar Program and gain recognition from colleges that contact high scoring PSAT students.
