PSAT Prep - Recommended materials? Anything free?

<p>What are your recommendations in regards to PSAT books (not software)? </p>

<p>I'm especially looking for books/websites with lots and lots of practice tests; I would prefer an answer key, although answer explanations are not strictly necessary. Anything that can be freely photocopied is a big plus. </p>

<p>Also, how well would you say the PSAT translates into the SAT? Can I use SAT prep materials for PSAT prep? I personally think the PSAT is easier, and yet it appears to be more difficult to score a 240 than a 2400.</p>

<p>Any advice or referrals at all would be super, <em>super</em> appreciated. :)</p>

<p>You can usually get one past year’s PSAT from your guidance conselour; and you can always buy them for $3 a piece.</p>

<p>schoolisfun - That sounds like an absolutely great idea, but is that different from the practice test that’s in the Official Student Guide?</p>

<p>^The $3 PSATs are a pretty good deal. You can get all of them given since the format change in 2004 (two PSATs/year, which means about 12 tests). Just note that you don’t get answer explanations with these, it is “answers only” like the Blue Book.</p>

<p>Wow. O.O fignewton…I so totally love you for that info. You have no idea how much you’ve just helped me.</p>

<p>where do i buy them for 3$ ? and will they come with answers</p>

<p>Could someone provide a link to where I might buy these old PSAT exams? I actually have the ones from the regular testing of the last 2 years, but I need the ones from before that.</p>

<p>The answers/explanations and score conversion charts are free.</p>

<p>Thank you <em>so</em> much. :D</p>

<p>Any idea on any stores I can the released tests from Schoolisfun?</p>

<p>Actually, I just noticed that the CB search only brings up about 5-6 of the past tests. Where can I find the rest of the 12 administrations?</p>

<p>

No, both the 2005 and the 2008 Administrations had “Alternate” PSATs on top of Wednesday and Saturday. So that would be 14 tests.</p>

<p>This year’s practice PSAT is the Wednesday 2008 test.</p>

<p>Oops, @Z.Exodus2008, you are right; it looks like the CB has run out of some of the older ones. But I count:</p>

<p>2006 1
2007 3
2008 2
2009 2</p>

<p>for a total of eight PSATs so that should get you pretty well started…</p>
