WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

Outcomes, not lecture notes.

01

Understand the structure, timing, and scoring of the digital PSAT and what National Merit cutoffs mean for your state

02

Apply targeted strategies for PSAT Reading & Writing questions, including Command of Evidence, Vocabulary in Context, and grammar-based questions

03

Solve PSAT Math problems across all tested categories: linear equations, systems, quadratics, data analysis, and geometry

04

Manage time effectively within each section to maximize your performance on every question

05

Identify and avoid the most common trap answers and reasoning errors on the PSAT

06

Use practice questions to diagnose specific weak areas and focus your remaining prep where it has the most impact

07

Build the test-day confidence that comes from having seen every question type and knowing exactly how to approach it

ABOUT THIS CLASS

The PSAT is the gateway to National Merit recognition and the best real-world preview of what the SAT demands — and four weeks of focused prep is exactly what it takes to show up ready. This course covers all tested domains — Reading & Writing and Math — with equal attention to content mastery and test-taking strategy. Students learn what the PSAT actually tests and how it tests it: the specific question types across every section, the time management habits that make a real difference when the clock is running, and the strategic approaches that separate students who know the material from students who know how to take the test. Four weeks, every section, ready to score.

SYLLABUS

More Than a Practice Run — The PSAT Is Its Own Game

The PSAT is often treated as a warm-up for the SAT, but for students competing for National Merit recognition, it's a high-stakes exam in its own right — and even for students who aren't targeting Merit, it's the best real-world preview of what the SAT demands. This four-week course takes the PSAT seriously: covering every section, every question type, and every strategic habit that produces a score worth having.

Reading & Writing — Precision Over Speed

The PSAT Reading & Writing section tests a specific set of skills: understanding how passages work, interpreting textual evidence, answering vocabulary-in-context questions accurately, and applying grammar and mechanics rules to edit sentences and passages. Students learn the internal logic of each question type — what the PSAT is actually asking, how right answers are constructed, and how wrong answers are designed to mislead — so they're making informed decisions rather than guessing under pressure.

Math — From Concepts to Test-Ready Execution

The PSAT Math section tests algebra, advanced math, problem-solving and data analysis, and geometry. This course covers each domain with a focus on the specific forms these concepts take on the test: the types of equations the PSAT favors, how data analysis questions are structured, and what geometry questions look like in the digital format. Students also build the problem-setup habits that determine whether solid math knowledge translates into correct answers.

Putting It All Together

The final sessions focus on integration: full-section practice under timed conditions, targeted review of personal weak spots, and the strategic meta-skills — pacing, question-skipping, uncertainty management — that separate strong test takers from great ones. Students leave this course knowing exactly what to expect on test day and exactly how to approach it.
