How to Ace Your PSAT

The PSAT exam is given to know the student's academic readiness before going to college. Because of this, most colleges will be asking for your PSAT scores aside from your high school GPA. Having good PSAT scores is essential for you to be admitted in prestigious colleges and universities, but how will you be able to score high on the exam?

Set a goal that is realistic but still challenging. If you have taken the exam before, then have a certain goal that is higher than your score and make sure that you will beat your previous score. However, it is also important that you make your goal as realistic as possible.

Practice, practice and practice. This is probably one of the most important part of the preparation stage so you can obtain a high score in a PSAT exam. The exam will last for four hours, so it is best to prepare by practicing under timed conditions to make you experience the feel of the exam.

Some questions will be giveaways, which you should answer first. There is more chances that you will be able to answer easy questions correctly than the hard ones.
