For aspiring college students, December isn’t all about vacation
planning and gift shopping. Many are also receiving their PSAT
scores and understanding how they affect their college planning. To
help, Kaplan Test Prep is hosting "PSAT Scores: What's Next?"
Kaplan experts will answer families' most frequently asked
questions, including: what do the PSAT scores mean, how can
students improve, and how can they earn thousands of dollars in
available scholarships? The livestreamed event will take place on
Sunday, December 9, and Tuesday, December 11, at 7 PM ET on both
dates. The timing of the events coincide with the expected release
of PSAT scores from the October exam on December 10-12.
Among the most frequently asked questions to be answered and
discussed:
- I just got my PSAT Score: What are my
next steps?
- How is the PSAT scored?
- What is a good PSAT score?
- What is the PSAT vs. the SAT?
- How does a good PSAT score translate
into National Merit Scholarship money?
“The PSAT is the starting line of the college admissions
process, and a great score can get students on the college radar
for recruitment and scholarship money,” said Brian Carlidge,
executive director of college admissions programs, Kaplan Test
Prep. “With $180 million in National Merit scholarships awarded to
top-scoring PSAT takers, we want to help students achieve their
best possible PSAT scores and for parents to be well-informed.
We’re excited to hold these live events delivered by dynamic
experts, which will give attendees the ability to ask and have
their questions answered in real time.”
To further prepare students for the college admissions process,
Kaplan has also created two playlists of short videos about the
PSAT, one for students, and one for high school counselors.
