Test Preparation
1

<p>I’m really nervous to take the actual SAT now. I really need to improve my PSAT scores in order to qualify to become a National Merit Scholar. I’m a sophomore. These are my scores for the PSAT I took this year:</p>

<p>total: 167
CR: 61
M: 53
W: 53</p>

<p>What study techniques did you use to improve greatly?
Please help. I feel really dumb because I know people who got 204’s and 208’s.</p>
