Why Most SAT Prep Fails (And What Actually Works)
Al Benthall
Most SAT prep focuses on more practice, more pressure, and longer hours — and it often fails. In this episode, Al Benthall of Benthall Prep explains why traditional tutoring methods don’t work and how his LASER Method helps students build better habits, reduce test anxiety, and actually improve scores. We talk about problem-solving, routines, the right way to use AI for studying, when to start SAT prep, and the biggest mistakes parents make when trying to help their kids succeed. A must-watch for students, parents, and educators.
