Lindsey Howe spent years teaching students the life skill of test-taking concerning the SAT/ACT. The aim is to support students to worry about the test less to show their knowledge and skills more. No one likes standardized testing, but unfortunately, testing is here to stay. I know I personally clam up with nerves at the idea of taking a quiz. Our students are experiencing the same, but more exposure and practice can lower the anxiety.

Educators will always need formative and summative assessments, but I hope they are not such high stakes someday. Additionally, most careers require certification tests from educators, construction inspectors, architects, engineers, plumbers, doctors, and lawyers, which requires test-taking skills. Thankfully America is taking steps in the right direction, such as colleges moving away from requiring the SAT or ACT or high schools are using the ACT/SAT exam as their end-of-year exam. Hence, all students have the opportunity to take it for college acceptance.
