PSAT |
|
The PSAT is the best way to prepare for the SAT. You may also qualify for a National Merit Scholarship if you earn a high score. The math section of the PSAT tests basic junior high and early high school math skills. This section is very similar to the math section on the SAT except the PSAT contains no algebra II questions. Private PSAT lessons with Dr. Donnelly are available either online via Skype for those students living outside of the New York City area or in-person at our East Midtown location for those students living here in Manhattan..
