    About the guest:

    Shaan Patel grew up in his family’s Las Vegas motel and went to public school where the high school dropout rate was nearly 40%! Although he was a good student who got A grades, he was a poor standardized test-taker. Shaan had a lot of test anxiety, had no idea how to prepare for exams, and received only an average score on his first SAT.


    Now, Dr. Shaan Patel has created Prep Expert to help students achieve their own dreams. Prep Expert has helped more 100,000+ students improve test scores, get into top colleges, and win $100+ million in scholarships.
