Manage episode 421936686 series 2828146
In this episode, we'll crack the code on the all-new Digital SAT. We're joined by the amazing Dr. Shaan Patel, founder of Prep Expert, the company that's helped over 100,000 students conquer standardized tests and land in top colleges. Dr. Patel is also a Shark Tank success story with over 20 years of experience cracking the SAT code.
Dr. Patel will break down the Digital SAT, college admissions in 2024, and your teen's scholarship options. Get ready to take notes!
Key Takeaways➡️ The new digital SAT is a significant change from the paper-based exam. Students need to get familiar with the new version.
➡️ Taking the SAT or ACT is still important, even at test-optional colleges, as it can increase acceptance rates and eligibility for scholarships.
➡️ There are over $7 billion in merit-based scholarships awarded annually, and many of them consider test scores in the selection process.
➡️ Top universities have started to reinstate SAT and ACT score requirements due to the difficulty of differentiating students based on GPA and extracurricular activities alone.
➡️ Motivation is key in test preparation. Helping students identify their why, whether it's getting into a specific college, winning scholarships, or achieving personal goals, can drive their motivation to study and improve their scores.
➡️ Parents and students should consider applying to colleges that offer merit-based financial aid, as Ivy League universities often do not provide such aid. Broadening the college application pool can increase the chances of receiving scholarships and reducing the cost of college.
