I have the PSATs on Wednesday, and I've been reviewing.. But now that it's coming down to the crunch, what should i really review and cram?
Any reason is amazing, thank you!

A lot of the PSAT is common sense and reasoning--read each question carefully and analyze it. Think about your answer when you write it (I assume they've put essays on there by now), then read your answer through and make sure it answers the question. I grade state aptitude tests, and I can't tell you how many times I've had to give a failing grade to a wonderful essay, no matter how much it broke my heart, because the student gave a wonderful response that had nothing to do with the question. On the logic portions, reasoning is essential--when they ask you which answer would follow in the pattern, look carefully, and see what the symbols have in common--if there's a green square inside an orange circle, then an orange circle inside a green square, then a blue square inside a yellow circle, it's logical that the next one would be a yellow circle inside a yellow square (Square in circle, circle in square, square in circle, etc., green in orange then orange in green, then blue in yellow . . . )

omg!! i have psat on saturday, and i was wondering the same thing
rt now, i'm taking practice tests and going over my psat review book
i think its helpful to go over some vocab because if anything else, it makes you more confident of yourself, and make sure you read the questions carefully (this might sound stupid but i always mess up by glancing at the question and not answering the question)
also, my book says not to pick extreme or controversial answers
but i suck at critical reading and i have no clue how to study for that...
sry im not really helpful
good luck!!!!!!!!!!
and also try taking a practice test

Don't sweat the PSATs, they aren't as tough as teachers say they are...
Just know Math, and equations...
Know Vocab, and sentence structure,
EAT BREAKFAST before you go, and your brain will work better.
Just relax, and keep it cool B-)

for psat, should i ever omit a question? or should i just go for all of the questions, even if i haven't eliminated any answers.
