Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Amy Seeley, president of Seeley Test Pros, founder of the LEAP program, and a fhttps://supportedtutoring.com/ounding board member of the National Test Prep Association, to unpack how SAT and ACT preparation actually works after 32 years inside the industry.Dr. Joe and Amy discuss why "tips and tricks" is the wrong frame and what test-taking literacy means instead, how to spot a test prep provider that over-prescribes hours or skips official materials, what a realistic score gain looks like on a 10-to-12-week timeline, why colleges are pulling back from test optional policies as grade inflation makes GPAs harder to read, and why taking more practice tests without reviewing your errors changes nothing.This episode is especially useful for parents of high school sophomores and juniors, students choosing between the SAT and ACT, families weighing whether to submit scores at all, and educators and consultants advising on test strategy.📲 Connect with them: https://www.leaprogram.com/Podcast: https://gettestbright.com/tests-and-the-rest/📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/Facebook: Dr. JoeInstagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.
