r/psat

I had been doing good on the Easy and Medium sections on Khan Academy, but now in the hard module I'm like doing awful. I don't understand!! What happened??

Hello everyone! I hope you're all well. I know how difficult it is to get ISAT resources i just want to say i'm very grateful to u/Gold-Blackberry-9998 for sharing all these resources. You can find them on the drive below

If you've been telling yourself "I'll skip the SAT/ACT, most schools don't need it anymore"   that window is closing fast.

Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Penn... all back to requiring scores for 2026-2027 applicants. Columbia just caved too, and Princeton's next in line for 2027-2028. The Ivy League test-optional experiment is basically dead.

Why the U-turn? Admissions offices ran the numbers and found test scores predict college success better than they expected, better than test-optional advocates hoped. So now even schools that are still "test-optional" on paper are quietly favoring applicants who submit strong scores, because it gives them something concrete to compare across 40,000 different high school transcripts.

Translation: if you're applying in the next cycle or two, betting on "optional" is a gamble. Policies are shifting mid-cycle, and by the time you find out your dream school flipped back to required, it might be too late to prep properly.

We've been through this before with families who assumed test-optional meant test-irrelevant, then scrambled in October trying to hit a good score before January deadlines. Don't be that story.

If you want a straight-shooting plan (not a 500-hour Khan Academy rabbit hole), that's literally what we do at Superiortests score diagnostics, targeted prep, no fluff. Happy to answer questions in the comments if you're not sure whether your target schools even need a score right now.

Does anyone have any tips for the Information and Ideas section? It's my lowest section and I want to improve it. I'm specifically struggling with the questions with graphs and tables. How do you approach those questions?

Any tips or resources are greatly appreciated!!
