Using PSATs to prep

<p>I'm currently using PSATs as a prep for my SATs since I don't have enough tests to go around (this is including QAS, Online course tests and the BB). So I've started using previously released PSATs and the 10 RS book.</p>

<p>Does the PSATs provide a good indicator of how well you're progressing? I know the math is a little easier, but what about the other sections?</p>

<p>Basically every bit's a little easier. But study for it none the less. It's gonna help. Remeber to study essay as well.</p>

<p>The math is definitely easier, but the grammar and reading seem pretty much the same to me.</p>

<p>Yes, PSAT's are great for studying. PSAT's actually come from old SAT's that have not been released. The only difference is that the math on the SAT will have a few harder problems (Algebra 2) . The writing and CR will be the same.</p>

<p>It definitely won't hurt you, so go ahead and use the PSAT.</p>

<p>I personally find the math to have been harder on the PSAT; the reason being that it has a bit more Geometry which is my weakest area as I took it so long ago. The Algebra questions on the SAT are almost always a joke.</p>

<p>The main difference between the tests is the time it takes to finish them. The PSAT is not a draining test, the SAT is.</p>
