Do you really need to study for the PSAT?

<p>At my school I've heard some people say that are going to, but most said they weren't. I always thought studying wasn't really needed for the PSAT because it's supposed to show you where you need to improve. Some said they want to make sure they can finish in time, but I've taken one of the subject tests and found I had more than enough time.</p>

<p>I finished the book they give you, I think that might be enough, and I was planning on just reviewing it tonight before I take the test.</p>

<p>any thoughts?</p>

<p>Seriously, look at recent threads before making a new one.</p>

<p>NO PLEASE DON'T STUDY. PSATs are a joke. If you're a junior, it's nice to get National Merit, but you should NOT study to try and get it.. aweriouawelkmawlfkaw ergh, just look at half my other posts.. lol</p>

<p>Thanks, sorry about making a new post (I saw that thread I guess I didn't look through it far enough).</p>

<p>i studied for it. by studying, i mean i did practice tests and memorized vocabulary. there's really not much else you can do.</p>

<p>I did absolutely nothing, and got NMSF way above the cutoff. Others practiced, and did not. There are only two relevant questions here:</p>

<p>1) Do you want to get the NM scholarship?
2) Are you currently at a level where you pass the cutoff (assume 220 for most competitive states)</p>

<p>The answers will determine whether you should study.</p>
