Episode 64 - SAT Author With A Perfect Score: The Shorter Passages Are Not Easier - Brian Stewart

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Brian Stewart, Princeton graduate, perfect SAT scorer, bestselling author of Barron's SAT, ACT, and PSAT prep books, and founder of BWS Education Consulting, to talk about what actually changed with the digital SAT and what actually moves a score.Dr. Joe and Brian discuss why the digital SAT's much shorter reading passages are not an easier test, how the section-adaptive format works and why students need to treat every first-module question as consequential, why he tells families there are no real hacks and what he teaches instead, how prep should change for students with IEPs, 504 plans, extended time, and test anxiety, when a twenty dollar book is genuinely enough, and why a 4.0 GPA is no longer a reliable predictor of a strong test score.This episode is especially useful for parents of juniors preparing for the digital SAT, families navigating testing accommodations, students deciding between the SAT and ACT, and anyone trying to prep well without spending thousands.📲 Connect with them: https://freetestprep.com/https://bwseducationconsulting.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@BrianStewartBarrons/videos📲 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.
