How to Ace the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT), using our easy step-by-step PSAT test study guide, without weeks and months of endless studying...

Dear Friend,

On a beautiful late spring afternoon, this past year, a young woman received the devastating news. She had just gotten back her result on the PSAT test. It was not what she had hoped for. In fact, it was not even close to the expectations she had considering her past experience and educational background.

Then she remembered her friends and felt even worse. She did not look forward to having to tell them the embarrassing news, especially after she had boasted that it was no big deal. She had been procrastinating about taking the exam because she hated standardized tests, and this only confirmed her hatred.

"What will I do now?" she thought with dismay, slowly realizing the harsh reality of her predicament and its upsetting implications on her future.

How to Solve the Problem

Unfortunately, this hypothetical situation occurs all the time. Someone thought they were going to breeze through the examination, told all their friends, made plans for their future, and then got an embarrassing reality check from the PSAT test.

The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) is quite simply an objective assessment of a test taker's requisite foundation of knowledge and skills.

PSAT test scores are used by the College Board as a uniform standard of qualification. While it may not be fair, all of a person's plans for the future may be dependent upon needing a certain PSAT test score.

That is the whole purpose of the PSAT Exam Secrets study guide: to give test takers the keys to understand how to succeed on the PSAT test.

Our PSAT Test Study Guide Is Unlike Any Other

• Our benchmark method for deciding which of the answer choices you should pick.

"Just dropping you a note to let you know that I am completely satisfied with the product. I had already taken the test once and landed in the 75 percentile of those taking it with me. I took the test a second time and used some of your tips and raised my score to the 97 percentile. Thanks for my much improved score."

  We know that one of the hardest parts of studying is sorting through all of the information. There is so much stuff that you need to know in preparation for your test. However, while you want to go through everything to make sure that you don't miss out on something you've never heard of before, it's equally important that you stay up to date on the basic core knowledge that you will be tested on.

  Our PSAT Quick Reference Guide is condensed study material. We've taken the basics of the test and boiled it down to the most important concise facts and need-to-know information. Our goal was to create a set of cheatsheets that you can print out that would allow you to do a quick review in a short amount of time. Unfortunately our cheatsheets don't give away the actual answers to the test, but they do the next best thing. They give you that basic review of the most critical things that you need to know to be successful.
