<p>D2 toolk the SAT with zero preparation and was disappointed with her score. It wasn’t in line with her ambitions. That motivated her to study for the retake. Still didn’t knock herself out with studying, but she used the Xiggi method for the studying she did do. She raised her score on the retake by 260 points. She is now in the ballpark for her reach schools and much happier for it.</p>
<p>So rather than nagging a procrastinating student to study, maybe it’s okay to let them go in with no prep. A mediocre score may get them motivated for the retake, or maybe they’ll do great even with no prep and won’t need a retake.</p>
