Why Prep for the PSAT in the 10th Grade??

Most area 10th grade students took the PSAT in October. We like to use that score to gauge whether the student should continue to prepare for the PSAT/SAT in 11th grade or whether the student might prefer and perform better on the ACT.

For students who scored in the 80th percentile and above on the 10th grade PSAT, or for students who prefer the PSAT/SAT, we strongly encourage them to continue preparing for the PSAT in the 11th grade, especially those students aiming for National Merit Scholarship. Sadly, we have had students with very high scores in the 10th grade not continue to prepare and practice and then not score as well in the 11th grade (the only year it counts for National Merit).

Prepping in the 10th grade for the PSAT is also good prep for the SAT, which we encourage students to take in November or December of their junior year, right after they have taken the October PSAT in 11th grade (assuming they have prepped).

We begin classes again on Sunday at 1pm for our PSAT 10th grade students. Space is limited.

Students should also be doing the SAT Question of the Day (offered through College Board) and practice questions on Khan Academy. Regular practice and exposure to the questions are important tools for success on any of the standardized tests. ... See more

The ACT Prep Monday & Wednesday Workshop and the Tuesday & Thursday Workshop for the February test are full. We are considering adding another section for Monday & Wednesday if there is enough demand/need.

If you have not signed up yet but would like to do so, please either email us at academiccenterfortesting@gmail.com or get on the Monday & Wednesday waitlist. Once we know we have enough interested students to fill another section, we will open it up first to the students on the waitlist and email list.

The Monday & Wednesday workshop starts next Monday, January 6 and the Tuesday & Thursday workshop starts next Tuesday, January 7.

The workshops are a great way to prepare for the test: Students will receive four hours of intense prep in each of the four sections of the ACT (English, math, science, reading) for a total of 16 hours of preparation. If we add it, the classes will be Monday & Wednesday from 6-8pm. Cost is $295. ... See more
