Smart Push PSAT Boot camp

The PSAT is more than just practice for the SAT. It is your first step toward National Merit recognition, scholarship opportunities, and building strong test-taking skills. Knowing how the test works and developing effective strategies can make all the difference.

Why the PSAT Matters More Than You Think

The PSAT is most important for juniors.
While students in earlier grades can take the PSAT to practice and build skills, juniors are the ones who qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program and other major recognition opportunities. Performing well in 11th grade can open doors to scholarships, college recruitment, and honors programs.

The PSAT can lead to big scholarship money.
High scores qualify students for the National Merit Scholarship Program, which awards millions in scholarships each year. Some students even earn full rides to major universities because of their PSAT performance.

Colleges may notice strong PSAT scores.
While not used for admissions, many universities actively recruit National Merit students with scholarships and honors program invitations.

It’s a powerful low-stakes dress rehearsal.
The PSAT mimics the SAT in structure, timing, and question style. Students who take it seriously often see big score jumps when they later sit for the SAT.

It helps students discover strengths and weaknesses early.
Score reports break down skills by section, guiding where to focus study time long before SAT or ACT season.

It can even guide high school course selection.
Results may suggest whether students should pursue AP, honors, or dual-enrollment courses to strengthen transcripts.

It teaches time management under pressure.
The PSAT gives students a chance to practice pacing so they’re ready for the real thing.

It builds confidence for the future.
Familiarity with the test format reduces anxiety and helps students approach the SAT and ACT with confidence.
