ASK THE TUTOR
Question: Dear Tutor, I was just wondering what your take is on tutoring for the PSATs?? My son will be taking them this year (10th grade). Does it pay to do anything for preparation? Or is it best to go in cold, and then use it as a benchmark for preparation for the REAL THING?
Answer: Dear Parent, I would say that the only reason for a person to do any significant studying for the PSAT is if he or she has a reasonable chance of scoring 1400+ combined on the math and reading sections (thus qualifying him or her for a National Merit Scholar). Otherwise, I would go in cold and use it as a benchmark.
