Kaylie and Samantha: To SAT or not…. Kaylie and Samantha were two of my students (none of the names I use are ever student real names) from the 2022 cycle.  They had nearly identical PSAT scores (1100 and 1120)and attended the same Shoreline high school.   They both were delighted to hear about SAT optionality.   Kaylie […]
