PSAT OR SAT? THAT IS THE QUESTION

The PSAT prep class is designed for junior students who score 170 or above on the PSAT they took as a sophomore. This is an accelerated class for students hoping to become National Merit Semi-finalists; it also prepares students for the SAT. National Merit Scholars must score in the 200 range to qualify. The average gain in scores for the PSAT class is in the 20’s. Some VERY motivated students improve their scores by 30 or 40 points. Students who enroll in the nine week PSAT fall course are required to attend 2 weeks in the summer and 4 Saturdays in the fall.

Those students who score below 170 should enroll in the SAT classes that prepare students to do well on their college entrance tests. This class has no summer or Saturday requirements and is offered both semesters to juniors and seniors.
