PSAT PREP

10 hour Workgroup

$445

Includes Books and Materials

This three-hour long test covers Evidence-based Reading, Writing and Language, Math with a calculator AND Math without a calculator. The Reading section is elevated with a much stronger non-fiction base than we have ever seen before. Nonfiction passages have a strong current natural science or current social science platform. Reading passages may include charts and graphs. Besides having the section where no calculator is allowed, there are also many more word problems in Math than previous versions of the test.

WHY/RESULTS:

Over a dozen students who prepared for the PSAT with SEC scored in the 99th percentile (90% of class attendees). Attending class and learning about the components of the PSAT will allow students to become more comfortable and more confident thus increasing their scoring potential. All of the sections on the test focus on Common Core skills. Gain confidence and start to prepare early for National Merit potential. Learn the strategies, skills and techniques necessary to “ACE” the test.

WHO SHOULD ENROLL:

It is highly recommended that sophomores as well as Juniors take this test this year to get a baseline on how they might do next year. However, National Merit scores are only valid during the Junior year. SEC has a free three hour diagnostic test for the PSAT. The Official PSAT testing dates are typically in mid-October.
