The Costly Mistake That Could Derail Your Child’s College Dreams
Tips and Tricks Are No Quick Fix
"My son only has two weeks until the SAT, and he really needs a top score to be competitive for his dream school. Can you give him some quick tips and tricks? He’s a fast learner!"
If you've found yourself in this position, alarm bells should be ringing. This all-too-common scenario illustrates a dangerous misconception about effective test preparation—one that could cost your child their dream school admission.
Many parents and students wait too long to admit that they need help with test prep. When that realization finally hits, they panic, hoping they can cram their way to ACT or SAT success in just a few short weeks with the right tips and tricks. But here's the hard truth: there are no magic bullets in ACT and SAT prep, even for the quickest learners.
Let me share a real-life example that illustrates this point:
When my student Kanan first came to me, he was aiming for a top 1% score but had a tight timeline. With only a handful of sessions before his exam, we made some progress, but he fell short of his ambitious goal.
At this juncture, many students would have given up. Not Kanan. He realized that achieving a top score requires more than just gaining a superficial understanding of a few techniques. After committing to a dozen more sessions, Kanan truly internalized the strategies and achieved his goal—an impressive 770 on SAT Reading & Writing.
So, what really drives significant score improvements like Kanan's?
As an SAT expert with over a decade of experience, I've developed a proven system centered around three repeating key steps:
1. Targeted Study
2. Deliberate Practice
3. Expert Feedback
True success doesn’t usually come from working through these steps a time or two, or even three—it's about repeating this cycle multiple times.
This is where the concept of "high-dosage tutoring" comes into play. Students need to develop "muscle memory" for identifying question types and executing the right strategies. And that requires persistent study, practice, and feedback.
High-dosage tutoring involves frequent, intensive sessions over an extended period. Research has shown this approach can lead to substantial academic gains. But there's a catch: it can be expensive.
