sat myths, busted

Myth 1: There are tricks to beat the SAT

Dude, this isn't Hogwarts. The SAT isn't some magical entity that can be solved with "hacks". There’s no secret formula. The only real way to improve is to understand what’s being asked and get confident with it.Understanding beats shortcuts. Every time. For the better and the worse.

Myth 2: You have to study a certain way

Some people start with practice tests. Some dive into concepts. Some build schedules, some don’t. That’s all valid. There’s no one path to a great score.You don’t have to follow anyone else’s routine — just build one that works for you.

Myth 3: Only some students can score high

This is one of the most damaging myths out there. The truth is: the SAT tests skills you can learn. It’s not about being “good at tests” — it’s about training with clarity.You don’t need to be born a test-taker. You just need reps and real tools.Believing this is like thinking that someone can't go from 5 pushups to 50 pushups. It’s all about the right mindset and consistent practice.

Myth 4: Expensive = better

We're not gonna lie, there's a lot of quality prep out there. But price doesn’t guarantee quality, and many of the best tools are often free or self-built. What actually matters is consistency, reflection, and honest practice.Smart beats flashy. Always.
