PSAT questions.

Who is PSAT prep for?

Mostly 10th and 11th graders. 11th-grade scores can qualify for National Merit; 10th-grade scores set the trajectory for SAT prep the following year.

Is the prep National Merit–aware?

Yes. We coach the question types and timing that move you into the Commended / Semifinalist / Finalist bands, not just generic SAT-style content.

Does PSAT prep also help with the SAT?

Substantially. The Digital PSAT shares its adaptive engine and content frame with the Digital SAT — every hour of PSAT prep is also building SAT muscle.

What's the format?

Live cohorts twice a week, smaller than our SAT batches. 1-on-1 is also available for students aiming at top-of-state Merit cutoffs.
