PSAT Prep Teacher Guide, a la Shmoop.
00:07
Hi, I’m Dave Siminoff, and I’m the founder of Shmoop. [Dave talking about shmoop]
00:10
If you’re watching this video, then two things are likely true.
00:13
One…your students are gearing up to take the PSAT. [Student preparing for PSAT exams]
00:16
And two…they’d really like to take the “P” out of PSAT in the near future,

00:21
so they don’t…wiz the rest of their lives away. [Man exits a portaloo]
00:25
Good news. Your Shmoop PSAT Prep license allows you…
00:29
…your staff… …and your students…
00:31
…to create as many Shmoop accounts as you need… [Shmoop account being created]
00:34
…as long as you don’t go crazy and end up in “new account creators anonymous.”
00:39
So each student gets his or her very own personalized Shmoop account. [Shmoop account home page]
00:43
They can use your magic word to gain access to Shmoop PSAT materials… [Magician showing joker card to woman]
00:47
…and unlock fabulous prizes… …such as…knowledge and information.
00:52
When your students first enter the world of Shmoop… [Student walks to a sign of the world of shmoop]
00:54
…they will see the Shmoop “dashboard”
00:57
This is the headquarters for Shmoop PSAT prep… …where students can enter a test date…
01:02
…which they will then eagerly await. Students can track their PSAT prep progress
01:07
and accomplishments to help them tackle that test on their big day.
01:11
Shmoop will also give them all the tools they need to succeed …
01:14
Including raw review topics, drills, and practice exams.
01:18
Your Shmoopified training plan could be the difference between victory… [Team holding up a trophy and an atomic bomb explosion appears]
01:21
…and disaster. We prefer victory, however, because it’s way more fun.
01:28
So we provide you with diagnostics that test
01:30
your students’ current knowledge of PSAT subjects…
01:33
…and you can always help your students to analyze weak spots by observing the skills section.
01:37
As your students experience the regular high points… …and low points…
01:41
…you will keep them confident, and ready, with that competitive fire lit at all times. [Girl running with the olympic torch]
01:46
On game day, you’ll have your students so prepared that they will think PSAT stands
01:50
for Pathetically Simple, Awesome Test. We even provide tips for the actual test experience…
01:57
Such as getting a good night’s sleep…duh. Bringing healthy snacks…duh. [Boy sleeping in bed]
02:02
And uh… much, much more. [Boy student reading a book of science stuff]
02:05
We’re excited that you’re going to be working with Shmoop…
02:07
…and we’re sure your students will be ready to get in the ring on the big day. [Boxers fighting in the ring]
02:11
Contact us, please – we’d love to hear from you.
02:13
Just...sitting here all alone.
02:15
Shmoop…out.
