Aparna’s Answer

Pay attention to taking notes in class and join some clubs. Playing a sport or trying a new one is good because colleges like to see you involved in athletics, which looks great on applications. Get more involved in school activities by joining clubs like the student council. Also, think about what career interests you, like medicine or technology, so you can pick classes that help you get ready for the future.

Props to you for starting this early! It's been a few years since I took the PSAT but at that time, the College Board website had lots of free practice tests for the SAT and subject SATs. I would start by exploring their website and seeing if they have any practice tests for the PSAT as well. The PSAT won't be much different from the SAT, so if you could start taking SAT practice tests as well and getting familiar with the format and content. However, don't be discouraged by unfamiliar topics. You have a few more years to learn! Keep in mind that colleges value tests scores differently and people also perform differently under test settings, but if a higher SAT score aligns with your goals, keep being proactive and consistent. Practice pays off!

June’s Answer

Since you’re in 8th grade, you’re in a great position because you have plenty of time to prepare before taking the PSAT for scholarship consideration in high school. Focus on building strong math, reading, and writing skills rather than trying to memorize test questions. Read regularly to improve your vocabulary and comprehension, and practice algebra, geometry, and problem-solving since these topics appear frequently on the PSAT.

As you get closer to taking the exam, complete official practice tests to become familiar with the format and identify areas where you need improvement. Review every mistake carefully so you understand why the correct answer is right. Studying consistently for 30–45 minutes a few days each week is much more effective than cramming.
