Using PSAT practice test

Parents Forum

First post here.

My son('22) is about to take the January PSAT.
On PSAT practice test #1 he scored a 710 math, 730 R/W aka 217 (hoping to qualify- we are in Montana).

He would like to use Khan academy or something to practice questions like the ones he missed so he can do better on the test in a couple weeks. Something very focused on the parts he missed.
I don’t see anywhere on Khan to input his scores from this test to use to brush up. He did pre-calc last year and is in AP Calc now and hasn’t taken Algebra in years. He could use some targeted questions to recall the math concepts that are a little rusty.

I don’t know how to advise him on where to find targeted study. When I went on Khan it only had a way to add SAT practice scores or link to college board account. He just has practice PSAT#1 and there is not a place to add this.

I know it is last minute. He got very behind in a couple classes first semester and spent all of his study time getting those back on track. He wasted any time he could prep and now just has a couple weeks. With his practice score being pretty good, he just needs a little tweaking.
We are looking for a good way to use what he learned from this practice test.

Thank you,
Deb

PS He is our oldest and I have no reference for this. Please help if you have ideas on what to do.

Look up the equivalent score of his PSAT to SAT (easy to find on the internet). Maybe you could input that.

Khan is a great place to study. If he takes one of the practice SATs on Khan, then the program will set the appropriate level questions for him. The PSAT questions are the same as the SAT questions (minus the most difficult SAT questions). My kids used Khan SAT for PSAT study and they qualified for NMSF.
