PSAT Season Is Here!

October marks PSAT season, and for many families, this test can feel like just another item on the academic calendar. While the PSAT doesn’t carry the same admissions weight as the SAT or ACT, it serves as an important stepping stone for students—and parents play a key role in making sure their child gets the most out of it.

Why the PSAT Matters

For the majority of students, the PSAT is primarily about exposure. It allows them to experience standardized testing in a lower-stakes environment, helping them practice time management, pacing, and test-day confidence. Simply walking into the SAT later on will feel far less intimidating if they’ve already seen the format.

For top-performing students, however, the PSAT carries even more significance. High scorers can qualify for National Merit Scholarship recognition, a distinction that not only strengthens college applications but also opens the door to valuable financial aid opportunities. For these students, focused preparation is essential.

What Parents Should Know Right Now

• Every student benefits from familiarity. Even those not chasing National Merit will feel more comfortable if they’ve taken at least one practice test and learned basic test strategies.

• Small steps matter. A few targeted strategy sessions can ease anxiety and help students perform at their best.

• High-achieving students need structure. If your child is aiming for National Merit recognition, taking a more serious prep approach is well worth the effort.
