There’s no such thing as being inherently “bad at test-taking.”

Testing isn’t for everyone. But before you decide to opt-out, make sure your teen isn’t selling themselves short.

With the right approach, “good testers” can break through score ceilings without giving up their whole life to studying.

And kids with ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity can perform far beyond their expectations — sometimes reaching the 99th percentile.

The catch is: most test prep doesn’t fix what holds students back.

So what does?

In this free session, you’ll learn:

✔ The #1 misconception parents have that leads to missed opportunities and wasted effort
✔ Why “just practice more” backfires for most kids — and what works instead
✔ What’s usually going on when a student is “bad at test-taking,” and what changes that
✔ How smart, capable kids benefit from accommodations — and why they’re not a crutch
✔ The research-backed strategies that raise scores without overwhelming your teen

And for some students, overcoming this challenge boosts their performance skills and confidence.
