Santa Monica PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The PSAT, or Preliminary SAT, is a standardized test taken by juniors in high school. The test is not going to be used like the SAT, to determine your entrance into the best colleges, but it is used for two things. First, it helps you understand where you are at in terms of being able to successfully complete the SAT so you will know what you need to study. Second, as the test is also called the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, or NMSQT, it is used to determine whether you will be offered the prestigious National Merit Scholarship. If you're preparing for the PSAT, Varsity Tutors' educational directors can assist you in finding an experienced tutor in Santa Monica, CA.
The Varsity Tutors educational directors can identify a private PSAT tutor in Santa Monica who will address all of your PSAT concerns. The test is focused on math and evidence-based reading and writing. Most students are more proficient in one of these areas than the other. The benefit of having a private tutor is that they will work with you in the areas you need the most work and fly through the areas where you are comfortable in your knowledge. This is far better than any kind of classroom prep, where equal attention and time is spent on each subject. Your time will be used more wisely, meaning you can get closer to being prepared for the test in less time than you would with a classroom preparation experience.
Varsity Tutors can connect you with a professional PSAT tutor in Santa Monica who could teach you how to study effectively. You may not be aware of the format of the PSAT, so your tutor can focus on teaching you that in addition to working on the content. There are test-taking tricks and tips that all PSAT tutors know and can share with you. Because the test is timed, your tutor will also work with you on your pace, giving you practice exams and helping you with timing as you go through them to try to make sure you will be able to answer all the questions.
Your tutor will also be flexible, able to meet you at a time and location in person that best suits you. If meeting in person is not preferred for any reason, you can meet with your tutor online through our live learning platform. Our directors will match you with an excellent PSAT tutor in Santa Monica, CA, who might help you to meet your academic and test score goals.
