PSAT의 모든것 : 어떤 시험이며, 어떻게 준비해야 할까

PSAT는 주로 10학년 11학년들이 보는 시험으로 
National Merit 장학금 지원등을 목표로 할 경우 필요한 시험이며, 
SAT 준비를 위한 전 단계라 보시면 됩니다

PSAT란?....
National Merit: The PSAT is also called the NMSQT, or the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. 
Scoring well on the PSAT can get you a National Merit Scholarship.
Scholarships: You can still get some from other organizations, 
                      even if you don’t qualify for the National Merit Scholarship.


10학년 PSAT 평균 점수대:  Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 479 Math: 479
11학년 PSAT 평균 점수대 : Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 489 Math: 498
 

PSAT와  Redesigned SAT 차이점
Structure: Redesigned SAT has 153 questions; PSAT has  138 questions.
Length:    SAT is 3 hrs. plus 50 minutes for the optional essay.; PSAT is 2 hrs. 45 minutes.
Purpose:  SAT is used for college admissions and scholarships.
             PSAT is used for National Merit Recognition and scholarships.
Scoring:   SAT has a possible score of 1600 
             PSAT has a possible score of 1520.
 

어떤 방식과 목표를 가지고 PSAT를 준비 해야 할까?
If your goal is to win a National Merit Scholarship, then you should invest some serious study time into the PSAT; you must score in the upper 95th – 99th percentile to even be considered. 
If your goal is simply SAT prep, then relax a little bit and use the PSAT as a preview for the real test. 
Let your final score determine which sections to focus on for the SAT.


How To Qualify for the NMSQT
First things first. Before anyone will every look at your PSAT/NMSQT score, you have to have the following things going for you. Give yourself a point if you are…
A U.S. citizen/intended U.S. citizen
Enrolled full time in high school
Taking the PSAT your junior year
Carrying a strong academic record
Going to complete the NMSC Scholarship application

오클라호마 스포츠특기생 동부명문보딩 목표

학교 빛내줄 특기생들 학교 성적/공인인증 결과 좋다면 우선 고려 대상,

그러나 특기가 Application에 효과적으로 반영될 수 있도록 해야.

보딩이나 대학들이 학생들을 심사할 때 특별한 특기가 있는지도 심사 대상이 되는데요, 

공식적으로 보여줄 수 있는 특기가 있다면 반드시 Advantage 가 적용됩니다. 

그렇다 하더라도 학교 성적이나 공인 점수가 잘 나올 수 있도록 노력해야 하며, Application 내에 그러한 특기가 심사관들에게 appeal 될 수 있도록 잘 작성이 되어야겠습니다. 

아래 수업 중인 오클라호마 학생도 National Competition에서 우승한 경험이 있는 특별한 학생인데요, 미국 동부 명문 보딩 지원을 위해 열심히 노력하기로 했습니다. 

이 학생이 꼭 합격해서 미 동부를 누비며 국위선양할 기회가 온다면 참 기쁘겠습니다. 

이제 미국 명문 보딩 공격수들이 긴장 좀 해야 할 듯합니다. ㅎㅎ

아, 그런데 요즘 참 그로톤이 인기가 많네요. ~
