The PSAT Short Course

This is the program that makes sense for most students. It consists of 3-5 sessions to cover test-taking strategies, enabling students to treat the PSAT as serious practice for the SAT.

What is the PSAT?

The PSAT is a practice SAT taken in October of sophomore or junior year. The PSAT gives students an early indication of their SAT score and qualifies the top percentage of test-takers for the National Merit Scholarship.

The new PSAT 8/9 and PSAT 10 tests are designed to cover freshman and sophomore curriculum. These tests familiarize students with the PSAT and SAT format and connect students to AP courses they can take later in high school.
