PSAT Prep

<p>As a sophomore - i took a couple of practice tests and read a psat book and got a 203. Overall, it wasn't that much studying. My junior psat is coming up in 2 months and im aiming for at least 221, because I think that will be the CA cutoff for semifinalist (240 would be better of course). I'm currently buffing up on my vocabulary as I really lack in that area.</p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way to study for the PSAT over the next two months so that I can achieve my goal.</p>

<p>I think the cutoff last year was 217.</p>

<p>Your question’s broad, so it’s hard to answer. Personally, I felt the most important aspect of test prep was learning from mistakes. Try, struggle even, to figure out exactly why you missed a particular problem, and you’ll think more like the test makers. I’d be happy to answer any specific questions you may have.</p>
