Thank you Sharon for trusting us to be a part of your son’s college journey! We are ecstatic for Emery as he heads off to Yale and know he has a very promising future!

Our FREE 45 minute ISEE webinar is back! This year, private school placement coach Lisa Marfisi will join Ivy Method Co-Founder and Master Tutor Michael Robin to demystify the ISEE prep process.

The ISEE is the first high-stakes standardized test most students will take, and it is extremely challenging. In fact, relative to their cognitive development, it is often the most difficult standardized test your child will ever take. Proper planning and preparation are critical to ensuring your child’s success.

Webinar will cover:

• How to plan your child’s ISEE prep process
• When to start prep to ensure they have enough time to master content for the lower, middle, or upper level ISEE exam
• Which schools expect you to submit ISEE scores
• How the ISEE’s four selections + essay are designed, and how students can avoid getting “tricked” by this notoriously deceptive test
• How stanine scoring works, and what defines a “good” score
• When (and where) your child should take the test to achieve optimal results
• The ISEE’s role in secondary school admissions
• A strategic approach to secondary school admissions that can help your student thrive

The Webinar will be followed by a 15 minute Q&A with Michael Robin and Lisa Marfisi. Link in bio to sign up.

We’re excited to announce Ivy Method’s newest offering – and it’s a big one!

The new digital SAT is the most well-designed college admissions exam to date... and your child SHOULDN’T take it.

Join us on Thursday, July 20th at 7pm PT for a FREE 1-hour webinar on the changes to the SAT and PSAT. We’ll explain why your child SHOULD prep for the digital PSAT but SHOULD NOT take the digital SAT -- and what they should do instead to set them up for college admissions success.

IVY METHOD'S CONQUERING TEST ANXIETY WEBINAR

Your child has studied for the SAT, ACT, or AP exam – but studying is not enough. Test taking anxiety is the number one reason students don’t achieve the scores they deserve on high-stakes exams. Time and again, students walk into standardized tests with excellent preparation only to buckle under pressure. Don’t let this happen to your child. Ivy Method’s free, 1-hour Conquering Test Anxiety webinar integrates research and tools from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and education to help your student manage and overcome test anxiety, so they can finally achieve scores that match their potential.

In this hour-long webinar, students and parents will:

- Learn the neuroscience behind anxiety and how it negatively impacts test performance
- Practice evidence-based techniques to calm the nervous system and get the prefrontal cortex back online
- Develop test-specific strategies that turn confusion into clarity and challenging questions into easy ones

The Webinar will be followed by a 30-minute Q & A session about test prep & the college process with Ivy Method Co-Founders Peyton McDavitt and Michael Robin, who’ve collectively helped hundreds of students gain admission into America’s most competitive colleges.
