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.
