PSAT 8/9 (standardized testing for eighth and ninth grade)
I f you're in high school, you definitely know that there's a HUGE stress on standardized exams. "You have the SAT in a year! Start studying!" and all that. If you're scared about standardized testing and how to handle it, you've come to the right place. Today we're going to explore how to go about doing this test in a way that you will succeed. Disclaimer: Success DOES NOT mean a 100%. I know that you may be used to getting A+'s on tests in school, but this is not your typical test. Although it is possible to get a perfect score (which, in the case of the PSAT 8/9 is a 1440), it is not something that you should beat yourself up about not getting. Unlike a test for a class that you can study the content for, the PSAT 8/9 (and the PSAT 10, PSAT/NMSQT, and SAT) is more about showing that you can use logic and analytical thinking to answer questions. The only real way to study for these tests is paying attention in class and doing practice tests. Image
