PSAT vs. SAT...confused ?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey! If I am going to be a junior this fall would it be more beneficial for me to start taking practice PSATs or SATs this summer? Or does it even matter? I thought SAT would be better because I could practice pacing/endurance for the real test but I'm not really sure since I will be taking the PSAT before the SAT haha. But one thing is for sure... I am going to be spending a whole lot of time reading and reviewing vocab, which will hopefully help me for both tests! Please respond asap because today's my first day of summer and if I am going to order the college board blue book or whatever then I want to do it soon!</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>I don’t know that much about this type of thing (even though I’ll be a senior next year) but my suggestion would be to study for the SAT primarily- it’s the one that really counts! And because the PSAT is just a shorter version of the SAT (same types of questions and everything, just no essay), you should be plenty prepared for it after doing prep for the SAT.</p>

<p>Okay that’s what I was thinking, but I just wanted the reassurance of another opinion! Haha thanks!</p>

<p>Yeah, if you’re prepared for the SAT, you’ll definitely be prepared for the PSAT.</p>

<p>Haha okay thanks. :)</p>

<p>Dang, I really wish it was possible to just close a thread once you get a satisfactory answer. Haha oh well, thanks for the responses!</p>
