know how to navigate that process.
And having conversations early to figure out the timeline and trajectory that your student is on is pretty essential.
For instance, when we talk about the SAT and ACT, and actually just to take a half step back, these are the two standardized tests that you need to take
for college.
You don't need to take both.
Every college and university looks at them completely equally.
So you only need to take one or the other.
And one thing that my company has always emphasized to students and families is to take a diagnostic test of each one just to get a baseline score to figure out what test is right for your student.
In some cases, students score pretty much the same on both tests.
But in other cases,
There are students who score significantly better on one test versus the other.
For instance, when I was in high school, I was doing fine on the SAT and I grew up in Connecticut where all we ever knew was the SAT.
And I was on a college visit at Brown University and speaking with someone there and we were having a conversation and she said,
well, have you ever looked at the ACT?
And the reality was I had never even heard of the ACT.
And she assured me that every single college looks at them completely equally.
I went back home and I took a practice ACT and scored the equivalent of over 200 points better than I ever had on the SAT.
And this is, you know, I always use that story and emphasizing that point,
knowing how to navigate this process and the rules to the game can be more than half the battle.
When we talk about differently wired students, though, who may be applying for accommodations, there's a whole other set of rules and things to navigate.
