Truth

Neglecting the PSAT/NMSQT test can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The “P” in PSAT stands for “practice” so don't waste your time on it. The “P” stand for “Preliminary” and this is a scholarship contest that counts in the junior year. The perks of a high PSAT score can include everything from a full-ride to grad school money, spending cash, study-abroad stipends and more.

Here's an example.

Because the PSAT/NMSQT is generally administered in the third week of October, students have nearly four months to prepare. Treat this like a part-time job and it could yield in hundreds of thousands of scholarships offers from numerous colleges. Learn the recurring patterns and logical test-taking techniques and you can ace this test.
