Description

In this episode, Ben Paris, an educator with 30+ years of experience in test prep and assessment design, unpacks decades of insights from inside the standardized testing industry. He discusses the psychology of test anxiety, the myths around “test-optional” admissions, and why he believes good test prep is about building skill, not shortcuts. Ben reflects on the value of intentional practice, the limits of AI in learning, and how tutors can keep their teaching aligned with what actually moves student scores. With a sharp eye on policy trends and student well-being, Ben offers a grounded perspective on what’s changing — and what shouldn’t — in the world of college admissions prep.
