The successful outcome of preparing for the SAT & ACT can yield a massive return on investment, but the real value lies in the process itself. Amy and Mike invited educator Rob Pollak to explore how test prep prepares you for college.

What are five things you will learn in this episode?

  1. Is test prep all about tips and tricks?

  2. How is standardized test prep more than just preparation for one isolated exam?

  3. In what way does test prep challenge students to think more strategically about their learning and approach to studying?

  4. How do the skills students develop during test prep translate to real-world applications beyond college?

  5. How can test prep be a tool for teaching students to manage stress and perform under pressure?
