My daughter took a weekend-long PSAT course just before the test (the timing of this course certainly helped). They took two tests – one on Sat. morning – then went over their results and reviewed the individual sections of the test. The instructor also offered up some test taking tips and feedback to each student (via their first test). They finished the class by taking the test again on Sun. (with final results available as well). This class helped my daughter – her PSAT went up over 30 points when she took the actual test, and she easily cleared the semifinalist cutoff. When you consider the cost of this class (in the $300.00 range) vs. the amount of scholarships that are available to NMFs, (if she ultimately qualifies) we feel this was a good investment. My D also took the PSAT practice test. (take as many practice tests as you can – if nothing else, buy the PSAT book)

BTW – this class helped D with other standardized tests – the test taking tips are basically universal.
