Student PSAT Prep

Why Prep for the PSAT? 

For most students, the outcome of the PSAT test has little impact. Students typically take this ‘simplified version of the SAT’ as sophomores or juniors to practice for the SAT. The PSAT primarily serves as a snapshot for school counselors and college administrators of students’ college readiness.

But for a handful of students — the very top — the outcome of the PSAT test can be life-changing. 

Students who score in the top 4 percent on the PSAT can, as semifinalists, move on to qualify for the National Merit Scholars Program. National Merit finalists and semifinalists receive more than monetary rewards. They are prized by colleges and universities nationwide. Many colleges at all levels offer Merit Scholars full tuition, room, and board — even book stipends.

Some also send students abroad for a semester of study. 

Our PSAT prep is designed for top tier students — those likely to benefit most from a score increase. In our online P/SAT math class, and one-on-one online or in-person tutoring sessions, we focus on the skills and strategies students need to go from earning good scores on the PSAT to securing an outstanding National Merit-track score. 

Some students benefit most from our online PSAT math course. Others prefer to work with a tutor in one-on-one sessions.

Many choose a combination of both. 

Since 2022 , we have helped 44 students prepare for the National Merit Scholarship.
