I hope this article provides insight into how many of the principles we teach at Test Prep Gurus are applicable far beyond standardized tests -- whether that means succeeding in college, launching your next creative project, or creating a business.

Interviewer: “Nick, can you tell me a story about the hard times that you faced when you first started your journey?"

Nick: “Earning a massive score improvement on the ACT or SAT is a great metaphor for starting a new business because they both require the same ingredients for success –

  • Have clear goals for success — make sure the metrics for success are within your control

  • Seek expert advice for creating a plan to reach your goals- if you think it is expensive to hire an expert, wait until you hire an amateur

  • Turn preparation into a game- if you are going to spend hours of your life working at something it might as well be fun

  • Track your results to see if your preparation is working- be scientific in pursuit of the most effective route to reach your goals

  • Focus on the process — If you dedicate yourself to developing real expertise, results will follow”

At Test Prep Gurus we teach students how to raise their ACT and SAT scores so they can reach their goals for college and beyond.

It all starts with 3 steps:

  1. Complete mock ACT and SAT exams.

  2. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to review your exam results.

  3. Create a 1-on-1 test prep plan to reach your goals for college and beyond.
