One of the questions we often get at Academics Plus is: What is the difference between the SAT and the PSAT? So for the next few days, we will post blogs listing the differences between these two important exams.
The following is an excerpt from a short article written by Justin Dolecki over at the Princeton Review.
It’s only practice!
In a student’s life, SAT day falls along the lines of the World Series and Super Bowl all rolled into one. Whereas the SAT is the big game, the PSAT is more along the lines of a scrimmage. It’s great practice but doesn’t count toward the final record. You see, the “P” in PSAT stands for “preliminary” – the test is meant to give a preliminary idea of how well your child will score on the SAT. But PSAT scores do not predestine SAT scores. Actually many students significantly improve their SAT scores from their PSAT scores through a lot of hard work and preparation.
Our goal is to make this blog the most helpful and informative blog on Academic Success and SAT preparation. To do this, we need your help, so please give us your feedback and make comments to our blog!!
