<p>I'm going to be a junior coming into this next school year and I've decided to dedicate part of my summer for studying for the psat. I need to score above a 214 to qualify for a national merit scholarship, but I don't know what to study for. Should I study for the actual SAT and use the blue book or study solely for the psat with my princeton review book. Basically what I'm saying is if I study only for the PSAT will my SAT scores be significantly lower than those of my psat, or should I just study for the SAT and if so will my psat score back it up.</p>
<p>Study for the SAT and you’ll simultaneously be studying for the psat</p>
<p>Okay thanks! Btw, do you knonw of any excellent threads I can use that have like a rundown of books etc i should get and use because I don;t know where to start. I’ll put in any amount of hours it takes because my psat score lats year was so bad(140) and I need to bring it up above a 214(florida nmsqt score) @jellybae</p>
<p>study for SAT but in last couple of weeks take official PSAT practice tests or past PSAT tests only with no essay and a bit lighter maths. Take them in timed conditions and go over your mistakes.
After PSAT in Oct, put focus back on complete SAT.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
