Cramming for the PSAT: Possible in one day?

So I kinda procrastinated and now I have the PSAT tomorrow. I know, not the best move, but do you guys have any tips on how to study effectively when you're short on time? I'm looking for some quick strategies to brush up on skills or key areas to focus on. Thanks!

Hey there! I can definitely understand the rush you're feeling. While it's tough to cover everything in one day, focus on what you can manage, not the missed prep time. Here are a few quick tips: Familiarize yourself with the test format if you haven't already. Knowing the types of questions and sections can go a long way. Brush up on basic math formulas and grammar rules, as these can be easily forgotten but are very important for the test. Also, try working on a couple of practice problems from each section to get comfortable with the pacing. Lastly, make sure you get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast tomorrow - being well-rested and energized can significantly impact your performance. Good luck on your PSAT tomorrow!
