Aurora PSAT Tutoring FAQ
The Preliminary SAT (SAT) is a standardized test that assists students in preparing for the SAT. There are three versions of the test, including the PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10. And PSAT/NMSQT. The PSAT 8/9 is taken by students in grades eight and nine. The PSAT 10 is taken by students in tenth grade. Finally, the PSAT/NMSQT is taken by students in either tenth or eleventh grade.
The PSAT takes approximately three hours to complete and is made up of two sections. These include evidence based reading and writing and math. The evidence based reading and writing section focuses on text complexity, informational graphics, command of evidence, and words in context. The math section involves advanced math, data analysis, problem solving, and algebra.
Many students do not put as much effort into studying for the PSAT as they should. They view it as simply a practice test for the SAT. It does not have an effect on whether they get into college. But there are several reasons why your child should be taking the PSAT seriously. While it is a practice test for the SAT, it does offer insight into the type of questions that will likely be on the SAT. It also gives students a chance to become familiar with the testing format.
