<p>What are the differences? Obviously there will be no essay or Algebra 2 on the PSAT but any other differences? Can I skip the PSAT studying and focus on SAT, even if I live in an ACT area and might not even take the SAT? Will it hurt not to get a PSAT only study guide? Will my scores be comparable if taken at roughly the same time? Boy am I full of questions. Thanks.</p>
<p>If you do well enough, you can get National Merit with PSAT.</p>
<p>well yes, i knew that, which is the only reason anyone would study for the PSAT. Thanks anyways, though.</p>
<p>lol theyre pretty similar man - study for the sat, kill two birds with one stone.</p>
<p>SAT is harder (like they might use SAT-Medium questions as PSAT-Hard) and has an essay. I agree with the person above me. Study for SAT; kill two birds with one stone.</p>
