The Princeton Review - Princeton Review PSAT 8_9 Prep-Random House Children's Books (2021)

What Happens to the Score Report from the PSAT 8/9?
Only you and your school will receive copies of your score report. It
won’t be sent to colleges.
What Does the PSAT 8/9 Test?
As you begin your prep, it’s useful to remember that the PSAT 8/9 is
not a test of aptitude, how good of a person you are, or how
successful you will be in life. The PSAT 8/9 simply tests how well you
take the PSAT 8/9 (and, by extension, how well you would have
performed on the PSAT 10, PSAT/NMSQT, or SAT, if you had taken
one of those tests instead). That’s it. And performing well on the
PSAT 8/9 is a skill that can be learned like any other. The Princeton
Review was founded more than 40 years ago on this very simple
idea, and—as our students’ test scores show—our approach is the one
that works.
These tests can be extremely daunting. However, remember that any
standardized test is a coachable test. A beatable test. Just remember:
The PSAT 8/9 doesn’t measure the stuff that matters. It
measures neither intelligence nor the depth and breadth of what
you’re learning in school. The PSAT 8/9 is an opportunity to start
preparing for the tests that do matter: the PSAT/NMSQT and the
SAT.

teachers. They’re not. They are people who just happen to make a
living writing tests. In fact, they write hundreds of tests, for all kinds
of organizations.
The folks at College Board aren’t really paid to educate; they’re paid
to make and administer tests. And even though you may pay them to
take the PSAT 8/9, you’re not their customer. The actual customers
College Board caters to are the colleges, which get the information
