Why Are We Offering This for FREE?
We're passionate about leveling the playing field in college admissions. Too many families make costly test prep decisions based on outdated information or myths about standardized testing and test-optional policies.
Our "why" is simple: Every family deserves access to expert guidance, regardless of their budget.
We're offering this free because:
✅ We've seen the damage that wrong decisions cause - wasted time, money, and student confidence
✅ Information should be accessible - premium guidance shouldn't be reserved only for families who can afford $200+ consultations
✅ Your student's success matters more to us than short-term profit
✅ We believe that when families make informed decisions, students achieve better outcomes
✅ Community impact - successful students strengthen our entire community
✅ The test-optional landscape is confusing, and families deserve clarity

Confused about ACT vs SAT vs Test-Optional? You're not alone! 🤔
With some colleges requiring tests, others going test-optional, and still others reverting back to test requirements, how do you know what's best for YOUR student?
Join us for this FREE comprehensive workshop where we'll break down everything you need to know to make the RIGHT choice for your student's college future.

What You'll Learn:
Understanding Your Options:
✅ Key differences between ACT and SAT (and which fits your student better)
✅ What "test-optional" really means (and what colleges aren't telling you)
✅ Which colleges are test-optional vs. test-required in 2024-2025
✅ How to know if your student should submit scores or go test-optional
Strategic Decision-Making:
✅ When test-optional actually HELPS your student's application
✅ When submitting scores is ESSENTIAL (even at test-optional schools)
✅ How colleges actually evaluate applications with and without test scores
✅ The hidden truth about test-optional admission rates
Test Selection & Timing:
✅ ACT vs SAT: Which test fits your student's strengths?
✅ Score comparison charts and what they really mean
✅ When to take each test for maximum results
✅ How many times should your student test?
Common Mistakes & Myths:
✅ "Test-optional means tests don't matter" - TRUE OR FALSE?
✅ "My student should skip testing and go test-optional" - WHEN IS THIS SMART?
✅ Common myths that trip up families
✅ Costly mistakes we see families make
Real-World Application Strategy:
✅ Building a balanced college list (test-optional + test-required schools)

✅ How to make the final decision: test or no test?
Plus: Live Q&A with our experienced tutors!
