Shaan Patel, the founder of Prep Expert (and a proud sponsor of The College Admissions Process Podcast), shares his expertise on how to leverage standardized testing for maximum financial gain.
In this clip, Shaan discusses the massive financial opportunities tied to the PSAT that many parents and counselors often overlook:
• Easier than the SAT: Shaan notes that the PSAT topics are not as difficult as the SAT, making it easier for students to achieve a high score.
• The Power of National Merit: Scoring in the top 1% of your state qualifies you for National Merit status.
• Beyond the $2,500 Scholarship: While some students receive a standard $2,500 scholarship, the "big benefit" is much larger.
