Marathon Training and Test Preparation
Alexis Avila Founder/President of Prepped & Polished, LLC located at 21 Eliot Street in South Natick, Massachusetts discusses similarities between marathon training and test preparation.
You do not want to jump into rigorous preparation at week one of a sixteen week training schedule. Rather, you want to prepare and build you miles/study harder and longer gradually.
You don’t want to cram a few days before the test, nor do you want to run a 20 + mile run the week of the marathon!
On test day/marathon day, you want to move through the test steadily and pace yourself well.

I love your analogy! Slow and steady wins the race…says this 5 hour marathon runner! I ran smart by being well-trained and pacing myself. SAT/ACT test takers can learn a lot from you Alex. Thanks for tips!
My pleasure John! Thanks for having me appear in your excellent blog.
Monica, great job on finishing the marathon and thanks for your tips! Test preparation is like a marathon. Life is a marathon! Thanks again.
Excellent info: I was say that studying for 20 mins a day for 3 – 4 months should be all that it takes to get a top score.
