What can I do to prepare?
These tests sound pretty hard? Am I ready for them? Well, truth be told, the SAT is really supposed to measure your abilities as a high school student and offer predictions of your success in college so the prep for them isn't the same as learning material for your American History class. In fact, the PSAT is, by itself a practice test. Why don't you try taking the test first?When you get the results you will get a report of data showing your strengths and weaknesses. This data can help guide you in your preparation for the SAT test you will take in your junior year. At that time, I recommend that you use the free KHAN ACADEMY resource. Khan Academy has partnered with The College Board to provide a free SAT prep program. The more ambitious of you are welcome to use it to prepare for the PSAT!
