I wanted to take this opportunity to announce an exciting series of interviews I’ll be doing with Barbara Ann Cochran, 
an Olympic Gold Medalist and incredible performance coach for young athletes. While it goes without saying that you’ll be stuck on test day if you’re struggling with math basics and grammar fundamentals, mentally surviving the test day is also a huge challenge. With the incredible pressure put on students to achieve high scores on the SAT and ACT, I thought it was important to start really looking into what it takes to perform on these tests and figure out how to articulate what makes standardized tests easy for some and difficult for others.
Our first conversation deals with the importance of mental preparation and what you can do to start preparing now for your test experience, whether you’re taking it in a few weeks or months down the line.
You can find the first part of our conversation here.
