With PSAT day looming, no one seemed more qualified to offer guidance than senior Paul Sattler, our own PSAT. We sat down with the legend himself to ask for his best tips — and he did not disappoint.

When asked whether students should get eight hours of sleep or stay up memorizing obscure vocabulary words like “lugubrious,” Paul did not hesitate:

“Stay up late and cram vocab. Sleep is temporary — College Board glory is forever.”

Proper physical preparation, he added, is also essential.

“You’ve got to warm up your writing hand. Wrist curls — 10 to 12 reps — minimum. You don’t want to pull something in section two.”

As for nutritional prep the morning of, he rejected all health advice:

“Full-sugar cereal. Frosted cereals are the fuels of standardized testing.”

We asked Paul what to do when panic strikes mid-test and the answer is unclear.

“Just wildly guess. It’s multiple choice — destiny will reveal itself.”

On the correct mindset:

“Walk in saying, ‘I will conquer.’ “

Finally, we inquired about handling a disappointing score.

“Cry in private. Dignity matters.”

Before heading off to class, Paul left juniors with one final piece of wisdom:

“Don’t think too much — just answer. God will take it from there.”

Whether they follow Paul’s “guidance” remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: when PSAT walks among you, you ask him for advice.
