580: The SAT & ACT Aren’t About Being “Smart”
Manage episode 486747418 series 166549
Strong grades don’t always equal strong test scores—and that disconnect can be frustrating for both students and parents. In this mini-episode, we break down why the SAT and ACT are their own skill set, not a reflection of intelligence or identity.
We talk about:
- Why test scores don’t always match classroom performance
- How over-prioritizing test prep can hurt other parts of the application
- Why even high-achieving students need to prep strategically for these exams
Bottom line? These tests matter, but they aren’t everything—and they definitely don’t define you.
