Episode Synopsis

Does standardized testing help or hurt your college admission chances?When it comes to standardized tests for college applications, your high school Freshman or Sophomore has choices looming in front of them you never had to face, and you’re not sure how to help them make the right decision. Should they take the SAT or the ACT? Or both? Or neither? What about the digital SAT? Do colleges prefer one type of test over the other? If a college has a “test optional” policy, do they mean it? Or does opting out give them a bad impression?   These questions can be overwhelming! And the last thing you want to do is overload your child unnecessarily.  If they’re going to have to go through the pressure and stress of standardized testing, you want to be sure it’s going to be worth it. So tune into this episode, where I take the guesswork out of this confusing process and provide practical guidelines for making data-based decisions you can feel good about.Follow me on Linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheilaakbar/Access free resources and learn more about Sheila and her team at Signet Education at signeteducation.com or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheilaakbar/.
