What do your PSAT scores mean, and how can they help you score higher on the SAT and ACT?

PSAT reports have arrived for students across the country. But trying to decipher what pages of figures and scores really mean for your child can feel like a test all of its own.

How important are PSAT scores? What’s a “good” score? Can your student qualify for National Merit? What does the report tell you about your student’s likely performance on the SAT or ACT? And what should they be doing to prepare?

CATES is offering your family answers to all of these questions and more—at no charge.

In a 30-minute phone consultation with one of our friendly test prep experts, we’ll give you a look behind the numbers to provide clear insights on where your student stands.

You’ll learn what your student’s scores really mean and how they stack up against those of peers. We’ll help you to understand what the report reveals about your student’s proficiency in test content, strategy, and test-taking skill. And we’ll tell you how your student can build on their PSAT results to earn an excellent score on the SAT or ACT.

You’ll also receive a supplementary PSAT report including target scores (i.e. how much we think your student can improve) and practical recommendations on where to focus future prep.

Best of all, it won’t cost you a penny.

To get started, simply submit your student’s official score report.
