To practice, you should get copies of previously-released official practice tests. I recommend the ones from College Board. I personally don’t like the non-official tests (like the ones that companies like Baron’s will sell) because as I recall from when my kids were prepping for the PSAT, the non-official practice tests seem to be either too easy or too difficult (in a non-helpful way).

This is the [ETA: interim] president that has been named, effective June 18:
These are two quotes from the column that led me to investigate the administrative changes at Tulsa:
Sadly, this education has fared less well with my university’s new administration. After the former president and provost departed this year, the newly installed provost informed me that the Honors College must “go in a different direction.” That meant eliminating the entire dean’s office and associated s…
