I took the PSAT in October, 2009. I used this PSAT guide over the summer, and it gave me pretty excellent scores. I got a 50 in critical reading (75 percentile), 75 in mathematics (99 percentile), and 70 in writing (99 percentile). My overall percentile was 95. That reading score is obvious low, but that is because I spent the least time in that section. I just did not place in the time to learn all the vocabulary and my vocabulary is already limited so that is why that score is so much smaller. These scores are also pretty indicative of how I do in my school classes. I am fantastic at math problems and writing essays, but suck at reading comprehension. When I got my PSAT answer sheet and booklet back, I realized that the only reason I did not get 2 perfect scores was because of some stupid mistakes. Since I was only a sophomore when I took it, I plot to take it again my junior year in hope that I can qualify for a National Merit Erudition. If I work on that reading, I am sure that I can get a perfect or near perfect score. I will certainly be reviewing this guide this summer.
As for persons of you wondering what is in this guide, it contains: (1) Background information on the test (2) Basic test taking tips (3) A diagnostic test (4) Sentence completion tips that mainly focus on how the parts of a sentence tell to each additional (5) Reading comprehension tips for 7 different types of questions (6) A plot for building your vocabulary (7) A list of word roots/stems, suffixes, and prefixes (8) Nearly a glossary of vocabulary words (9) A list of the top 300 used vocabulary words (10) Improving sentences tips (11) Identifying sentence errors tips (12) Improving paragraphs tips (13) 11 common grammar errors made (14) All-purpose math tips (15) 5 arithmetic concepts (16) 3 algebra concepts (17) 6 geometry concepts (18) 4 miscellaneous concepts (19) 4 full-part practice tests, and (20) What to do after the test.
At the end of the sentence completion, reading comprehension, writing, and basic PSAT tips sections, there is a synopsis of tactics that it excellent to study. In the strategies sections, you will see 8 different symbols with text box notes beside them offering tips on: (1) Time Saver (2) Educated Guess (3) Did You Notice? (4) Look it up; math reference fact (5) Prefixes, Roots, and Suffixes (6) Positive or Negative? (7) Helpful Hint, and (8) Caution!
In conclusion, this guide is comprehensive. It worked very well for me, and it can for you too. I will very much consider buying more Barron’s study guides when I take AP classes next year, and of course for the SAT or ACT.

This is an brilliant PSAT workbook, especially if you are taking PSAT for the first time in the sophomore year. It tells you what is and what isn’t vital with every strand of the Math section, gives succint and helpful tips for tackling the Critical Reading section, and provides 5 superb practice tests for improving in Writing Skill + a very comprehensive gammar practice (consisting of 50 well-written questions) to hone one’s grammar skills. For her junior year PSAT in 2008, my daughter practiced relentlessly all summer long, using Barron’s PSAT + McGraw Hill PSAT workbooks. Not only is she writing much better in English literature class this year, she did fantastic on the 2008 PSAT, in which she scored in the upper 99 percentile, including a perfect score (80) in the Writing Skill section! For her upcoming SAT I review, my daughter plans to rely on select Barrons products, in addition to College Board and McGraw Hill books.
