PSAT
Here's some more great information about the PSAT:
The PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 are highly relevant to your future success because they focus on the skills and knowledge at the heart of education. They’ll measure:
-
What you learn in high school
-
What you need to succeed in college
If you think the key to a high score is memorizing words and facts you’ll never use in the real world, think again. You don’t have to discover secret tricks or cram the night before.
The best way to prepare for the test is to:
-
Take challenging courses
-
Do your homework
-
Prepare for tests and quizzes
-
Ask and answer lots of questions
In short, take charge of your education and learn as much as you can.
