PSAT Test Prep

The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) is a primer for the SAT and is used to identify National Merit Scholars and award merit scholarships. The PSAT tests math, reading, and writing, and is offered nationally in October through schools and districts, not the College Board.

Although the PSAT is not part of the college admission application, students with high-achieving scores on the PSAT may be eligible to receive scholarship money as a National Merit Scholar. The PSAT is also a good way to prepare for the SAT, one of two standardized tests used for college admissions.

LAS offers one-on-one test prep, hybrid test prep, and crash courses based on the national PSAT dates in October. Using the PSAT content outline as a framework, LAS Test Prep begins with an initial consultation, pre-testing, and error analysis. Afterward, LAS Coaches design individual PSAT prep plans based on this information and the three PSAT sections: 1. Reading; 2. Writing and Language; and 3. Math. LAS test prep plans incorporate individual learning goals, retrieval practice, and spaced repetition with measurable outcomes. They require a practice commitment to develop content knowledge and test-taking skills. For more information about PSAT prep, contact LAS.

Students who use LAS Test Prep services can expect an average score increase of 23%
