Ep. 52 - How to Shift your Student's Testing Mindset (and improve their scores too!)

Gina, Jen, and their special guest, Lauren Gaggioli, a former tutor and course creator on taking the SAT and ACT, discuss what standardized testing means, how to decide if the ACT or SAT is right for your child, and how admissions and financial aid might use test scores to make admissions and scholarship decisions, even if they are test optional. We'll talk about what to look for in a college that says it's test optional and how to tell if sending in your scores will help you get the best financial aid package. There is so much in this episode for you to guide your students through the stress of taking a standardized test that builds on Episode 41.

Lauren Gaggioli is a solopreneur, writer, and podcast host who loves, loves, loves building online businesses. Her first venture was Higher Scores Test Prep where she built innovative and affordable online ACT & SAT prep courses. After selling the company in 2021, she dove into supporting her fellow digital entrepreneurs as they share their unique gifts with the world. When she's not serving clients as a content strategy consultant or hosting her online mastermind for entrepreneurs, you can find her recording the next episode of her parenting podcast, training for a runDisney half marathon, or channeling serious Molly Weasley vibes knitting up a new sweater, puttering in her garden, homebrewing beer with her husband, or making a delicious mess of the kitchen with her kids in their home just outside of Seattle.
