Preparing for the SAT and ACT can feel overwhelming, especially if you have ADHD or struggle with test anxiety. While some schools no longer require these exams, I still encourage students to take them—it can open doors to better opportunities and teach valuable study habits for college.

As a math tutor and ADHD coach, I’ve helped students improve their test scores by focusing on smart study strategies, test-taking techniques, and anxiety management. In this episode, I’ll break down how to study efficiently and approach these exams with confidence.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why the SAT and ACT are still valuable, even if they’re optional
• How ADHD students can study smarter, not harder
• Simple strategies to reduce test anxiety and improve focus
• The role of mental health, physical health, and nutrition in test performance
• Practical tips to manage time effectively during the test

Standardized tests don’t have to be a nightmare! With the right mindset and preparation, you’ll be ready to crush your exams and feel confident walking into test day.
