The President of TestTakers, Frank Pomilla, and Director Brian Corridan are back for another informative episode with host Andrew "Naka" Nanayakkara to discuss one of the most difficult aspects of SAT test preparation: when to call it a day.
Discussions include how scores should realistically increase and how to set reasonable expectations for students and parents.
Score growth is NOT linear but a process. While it is important to set goals, it is even more important to stick to your goals and recognize that the improvement students have made reflects their time, energy, and spirit. While scores are important, overtesting students for a few extra points may not be worth it (nor make a difference) when there could be other aspects of the college application to invest their time in!
