This class prepares students for the October 15th* PSAT hosted by Portland Public Schools. Confirm your registration with your school’s testing coordinator.
*Some area schools may host the PSAT on a different date.
For students seeking in-depth, expert-led PSAT prep, our PSAT Accelerator offers 12 hours of instruction covering both test-taking strategies and essential content review. This class provides structured, high-level preparation to help students improve their scores across all sections and strive for the National Merit Scholarship.
What to Expect
After analyzing results from an initial practice test, our expert instructors engineer their lessons to the needs of each student in the group. Over the course of six 2-hour class sessions, your tutor will walk you through each section of the test. Through tutor instruction and peer review and collaboration, students will gain an understanding of what to expect and learn both global and section-specific strategies. Students will apply their newly cultivated skills in two additional practice tests and will receive personalized recommendations for future study from their instructor.
N.B.: Consistent attendance is critical to a successful PSAT Accelerator class experience. If you cannot attend one or more class sessions, we’ll be happy to provide you with the instructor’s slides for the lesson and encourage you to book a 1:1 tutoring session to discuss what you missed.
