One of my son’s best buddies and academic peers was in my room. I asked him after the test what he thought of it. He said ‘hard.’ I asked my son what he thought of it. He said ‘easy.’ I’ve seen enough students from our schools go to ‘basic’ colleges and not be able to hack it. I don’t want the same for mine.



I wouldn’t say that is a good measurement for how well someone does on the PSAT. Collegeboard’s tests tend to like to trick people into jumping to a quick and easy answer, especially nearing the end of the math sections. I’ve talked to classmates who walked out of the test center say the SAT was incredibly easy and end up with 1700s and 1800s, while I ended up with over 2200 on the same test and thought that it was moderately difficult.
