Irvine PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The Preliminary SAT, or PSAT, can qualify your child for the National Merit Scholarship program, but it's more important benefit is serving as a "dry run" for the actual SAT your student will need to be able to get into college. It's an important preparatory step, and your child needs to take the examination seriously.

An expert PSAT tutor in Irvine, CA, can help your child develop their possibility of success on the SAT.
The PSAT is two and three quarters hours long, and its questions give attention to evidence-based reading, writing and language, and mathematics.

This attitude, however, can cheat them of the advantages of taking the test.
