Is your teenager a great student who happens to be bad on big tests?
Is the SAT or ACT giving them a surprisingly hard time?
Is there a big mismatch between their stellar grades and their weak test scores?
Your teenager can turn this challenge into an opportunity for success – not just on the SAT, but for life!
A former student of ours, Heather, did just that.
Heather transferred practice skills from a game she already knew -- getting high grades in school, and applied them to a new game -- the ACT.
And that accomplishment helped her gain admission -- early decision -- to an Ivy League university.
Heather's stunning success highlights a key point:
The higher SAT / ACT scores, while helpful, were actually the smallest part
of what Heather gained in mastering her SAT / ACT game.
Here's the big part:
Heather learned that she did not have the limitations she thought she had.
She learned that she could reach beyond the game she knew -- getting good grades -- and extend her success to a different game -- the SAT / ACT.
And in her training she learned what it takes to master any new game.
So now she was on her way to mastering all the games of her life.
So, this is the key gift the SAT and ACT offer your teenager: challenge.
Just as we get stronger lifting weights, we grow when we take on and master a challenge.
And if we train for that challenge in a certain way, we are actually training our minds.
By mastering a game and conquering a challenge we are developing successful habits of thinking, feeling, and learning.
So this is the Bigger Opportunity for your teenager to transform their struggle with the SAT or ACT into a training experience that will help them build habits for life-long success.
Thinking bigger, self-confidence, learning mastery -- all add up to unlocked potential for your teenager.
And for you, the biggest advantage of all -- peace of mind, knowing that this worrisome obligation -- the SAT or ACT -- has been turned into an opportunity for growth.
