Would You Ever Retake the SAT?

WSJ.com: I Took the SAT Again After 41 Years: Inspirational? Fun? Zany? Brainy? Would you ever retake the SAT?

Many congrats to Sue Shellenbarger! The headline on WSJ’s home page says “the terrifying experience of retaking the SAT after 40 years.” Education needs better PR!
As Robin the Math Lady, I teach Algebra and Geometry for the SAT but really focus on the psychology of studying and learning Math. Many people have Math and test anxiety hence the name of my web site -- Math Confidence.

By viewing test prep as an opportunity for learning, people can improve their brain fitness (just like going to the gym increases physical fitness). Congrats to Sue for taking on this challenge! You have inspired me to seriously consider registering for the October SAT ;)
