Welcome to the October Edition of Our Newsletter!

Monster Month of Tests

We often call October the Monster Month of Tests. Why? Because so many important test dates fall this month!

  • Schools are administering the PSAT/NMSQT this month
  • October 4 and November 8 are SAT test dates
  • October 18 is the ACT

To help students overcome the terror of testing, we’ve put together a helpful blog post about tackling testing anxiety.

Why Skills Matter More than Smarts

As educators, we know that success is about so much more than intelligence. The real key to academic achievement is executive function (EF), the set of skills that help students stay focused, learn efficiently, and adapt to new strategies. Check out our recent article about the importance of EF in college and career success and how parents and educators can help support students as they build these critical skills.
