The Big Secret to ACT and SAT "Time Management"

Slow Is Smooth. Smooth Is Fast.

Is your child racing through their ACT or SAT, heart pounding, clock ticking, in a near-panic trying to finish in time? If so, they might be sabotaging their own success.

Let's talk about a principle borrowed from elite military training: "Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast." It sounds counterintuitive, but it's a critical key to unlocking higher scores on the ACT and SAT.

Here's the problem: Most students plow through these tests in a frantic state of mind. The blur of rushed activity may feel productive, but in reality, they're:

• Making poor strategic choices (e.g., fixating on the answer choices when they should first find the answer in the passage)

• Inefficiently repeating steps (e.g., hurriedly reading passages over and over, never taking the time to break them down to achieve comprehension)

• Increasing errors due to disorder (e.g., attempting to hold too much information in their heads instead of taking a second to jot it down)

The result? Poor “time management” and disappointing scores.

But there is a better way.

Imagine your child taking the SAT or ACT with calm confidence. Every move calculated, every strategy ingrained. They're not rushing; they're flowing. And not only are they finishing sections faster than ever, they're also achieving higher scores.

This is the power of "Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast."

But leveraging this principle is no easy task. Most students operate on "autopilot" during these tests. When scores plateau, it's a clear sign that this autopilot is defective and needs to be retooled.

This is where most test prep efforts hit a brick wall. Overhauling one’s test-taking autopilot is daunting. It's mentally exhausting work, and most students don't even know where to start.

That's where I come in.

As an expert test prep coach with over a decade of experience, I've guided hundreds of students through this transformative process, helping them break through the wall and achieve exceptional score gains.

My approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about rebuilding your child's test-taking foundation from the ground up.

With my guidance, your student will:

• Identify the flaws in their current approach

• Learn targeted strategies to replace ineffective habits

• Develop a new, more effective "autopilot"

• Stay accountable and motivated throughout the process

We'll start slow, meticulously breaking down each component of their approach. Then, we'll gradually increase speed as their new skills become second nature.

Don't let a frantic, ineffective mindset hold your child back. Help them embrace the "slow is smooth, smooth is fast" paradigm and watch their scores soar.
