• Helen talks about what the top five myths are and explains why these are myths - 

          1) “SAT is harder than the ACT”

          2) “Wait to take the ACT/SAT till the end of your junior year” 

          3) “Only prep for ACT/SAT if you don’t have a high GPA” 

          4) “Because they are IQ tests it is impossible to study for them” 

          5) “Test scores don’t matter because schools are test optional”
