When to Get Started
Timing is everything. Parents who start their kids early, plan carefully, and educate themselves fully are in for an easier, more successful, and less stressful test prep experience.
In this brief guide, you’ll learn exactly when your child should start prepping for the SAT and ACT, how to begin, and how to build a proper college application calendar.
Motivating Your Child
Learning can’t take place without attention, and attention can’t exist without motivation. Properly motivated children get higher test scores, have an easier process, and deal with vastly less stress.
This guide will teach you to build your child’s drive, covering everything from building INTERNAL motivation and goals to the best ways to monitor the SAT and ACT prep process.
Managing Anxiety
Getting nervous is natural – but undue anxiety can sabotage the performance of an otherwise well-prepared student. A relaxed, focused student will always outperform an anxious one.
This guide will teach you the roots of testing anxiety, along with simple, practical action steps to eliminate it entirely. A small investment in time will reap big rewards by test day.
Sleep and Nutrition
Math, grammar, and strategy are only half the battle – high SAT and ACT scores also require a properly fueled, optimally maintained body and mind.
Learn exactly how important sleep is for your child’s success, how to get your child more of it, and how to feed your child if you want his or her brain running at the highest possible level.
Prep Materials and Environment
In the competitive college game, you need every edge to succeed. A well-structured study environment, along with the proper study tools, will do wonders to enhance your child’s performance.
Learn exactly what your child needs to thrive – this guide covers everything from the optimal study space and setting to the (very simple) tools he or she will need to succeed.
Learning Disabilities and Extra Time
If your child has any learning disabilities, or you think that he/she might, this guide is a must-read. Getting the proper accommodations is essential to any child’s success.
This guide will teach you who qualifies for special accommodations, what types you can get, and exactly how to secure them in time for the SAT and ACT.
