Plan, Prepare & Perform

A Strategic Approach to Test Prep, Fueled by Expert Tutor Insights and Scientific Research on How We Learn

Screen_Shot_2014-02-03_at_4.55.43_PMIf you believe deep down that performance on tests like the ACT, SAT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, etc. depends in large part on your natural intelligence, you are wrong,

 

Standardized tests measure learnable academic skills that can be developed through focused preparation, not a nebulous concept like raw intelligence.

 

Our performance depends on the quality of our practice, mindset, and confidence, and this book, written by MyGuru with input from an elite team of expert partners,  explains how to build a customized study plan to score higher than you realized was possible.

Unleash the Hidden Power of Preparation

 

Unlike almost all other “test prep” books,  this book will not cover specific math, reading, or writing concepts; instead, it's a book about getting better at the preparation process.  It argues that excellent performance is the result of careful planning, focused study, and specific practice strategies.

 

Chapters were designed to provide a powerful mix of theory and practical advice to help you:

 

  1. Understand what standardized tests are and aren’t measuring
  2. Keep standardized tests like the ACT, GRE, GMAT, etc. in perspective
  3. Adopt a growth oriented, ownership mindset
  4. Remove mental barriers about intelligence and testing in general
  5. Develop a customized, strategic study plan
  6. Study in specific ways proven effective through scientific research
  7. Incorporate test prep into everyday life to build skills naturally
  8. Help you build confidence, manage stress, and get in the “zone”
  9. Explore specific test taking strategies to squeeze out extra points
  10. Guide your preparation through the day of the test itself
