PSAT PREP WORKSHOP
ABOUT THE PSAT:
The PSAT will be administered to sophomores and juniors typically on October 15 or 18 this year.
The purpose of the PSAT is to give students and parents an idea of what a score could be on the SAT. Usually, when students take the exam as sophomores they are truly unfamiliar with the content and nature of the test; and consequently, most do not score well. (I’ve had students go up over 200 points on the critical reading alone when they ultimately take the SAT!)
When students take the exam again as juniors, they are more aware of the nature of the exam and certainly more mature in their cognitive thinking skills. That said, it’s a more accurate gauge of how they would score on the SAT. The junior PSAT is also used as one of the criteria for National Merit Scholarship.
You might want to consider your teen's participating in BreakThrough Test Prep's PSAT Prep Workshop.
This is a great option for students who:
- have not done any preparation and want to learn some easy to apply strategies
- have already scored well on a PSAT and merely need ‘tweaking’
- are on the fence about test prep
- do not want invest a lot of money on PSAT preparation
- have taken another prep program and yet feel they need an additional boost
- understand the disadvantages of walking into the test ‘cold’
- feel clueless as to what the test is about
“The workshop will provide core test prep techniques and strategies
for the PSAT and serves as the ideal foundation for EITHER of
the college entrance exams.”
More specifially, here are some of what this half day workshop will address:
• Back-solve equations
• Improve reading speed, comprehension and focus
• Plug in numbers for variables
• Create the mind set for successful test-taking
• Avoid selecting the “distractor” options
• Discern an educated guess vs. a random guess
• Recognize the predictable grammar constructions
. . . all of this and more for only $197!
The PSAT Workshop will be held on Sunday, October 12 from noon - 3:30 pm at the Washington Waldorf School in Bethesda.
