Applying for post-secondary schools in the United States can be intimidating for students and families, as the U.S. admissions process significantly differs from the Canadian admissions process. Students are required to complete either the SAT or the ACT, but are not prepared for them by their high schools. Taking the PSAT a year or two earlier can help students feel more confident when taking their SATs.

The PSAT consists of four sections: Math (calculator allowed), math (calculator not allowed), writing and language, and evidence-based reading. The test lasts approximately 3 hours, including a break.

How We Help

Our test prep specialists are experienced teachers who have advanced math degrees in their subject areas and have professorial experience working in schools in Canada and the US.

Many of them have also studied in the United States and have written the PSAT themselves. They have expert knowledge of the PSAT and the skills necessary for students to feel confident going into the test.  

Students begin their preparation with a full PSAT diagnostic test. The specialists then analyze the results and create individualized plans for each student that provides an in-depth review of the exam material and targets the student’s challenges. There is focus on test-taking strategies and tips that play to the strengths of each student and improve on areas of weakness.
