Welcome to your first experience with college-level testing! Designed as a practice for the SAT Test, as well as a tool for determining National Merit Scholarships, the PSAT is a great opportunity to prepare for the SAT, evaluate your performance, and perhaps qualify for an extraordinary scholarship.
The Princeton Review's Cracking the PSAT/NMSQT will walk you through reasons for the test, National Merit Scholarships, testing strategies, and finally each section of the PSAT: sentence completions, critical reading, math basics, math techniques, advanced math principles, writing skills and vocabulary. Clues, directions and strategies are explained for each segment, and include practice examples to help familiarize you with the test's structure and style. Two full-length practice tests will help cement new concepts and provide an accurate indicator for areas needing review. A list of words most commonly found on the PSAT is included as well. 362 pages, softcover. 2008 version.
