  • 229: Answers to Your Questions About the SAT and Advanced Placement - The College Prep Podcast
    Questions! Questions! We love questions!
    Below are two questions about the SAT and Advanced Placement tests that we got recently from two moms:
    (1) “I just heard someone talking about their 2nd child who took a gap year and delayed taking the SAT until after high school. For kids who just aren’t ready for college or who haven’t progressed to Pre-Calc by their junior or senior year, is there a benefit, or even an option, of taking the tests later?”
    (2) “A fellow mom and I have been having a long conversation about what colleges can and can’t see from your college testing record. This includes your SAT scores, your SAT subject test scores, your AP scores. […] My question is – can you still list [a course] as an AP course, but not report your testing score (say you do great in the class, but not so great on the test or does that look like your school is weak?) Or do you only report the class as an AP course if you have a score that is worthy of reporting? Otherwise would you simply call it Honors?”
    Tune in for Megan’s answers!

  • 228: Five Teacher Mistakes And What Students Can Do Instead - The College Prep Podcast
    Well-meaning teachers make mistakes when it comes to setting students up to study effectively!
    Listen in as Gretchen shares five mistakes teachers accidentally make, including tips for how both students and teachers about how to handle the fallout of these mistakes.
    Here is the list of mistakes Gretchen covers; tune in to hear her explain WHY it’s a mistake, and what teachers and students can do instead.

    * Mistake #1 – We don’t teach them to study.
    * Mistake #2 – We teach our favorite strategies without explaining WHY they work. We give instructions that students do or don’t follow, but without teaching the bigger picture.
    * Mistake #3 – When we do teach studying, we often make it too complicated. Too many steps.
    * Mistake #4 – We teach learning styles as if that is the answer.
    * Mistake #5 – We don’t actively practice the tools we teach.
