Let me know what you thought of the episode! Send a Text Message! I get asked very frequently about how homeschoolers can prepare for and take standardized tests (especially SAT, ACT, and CLT) successfully. In todays episode featuring Regina Gravrok, the Homeschool Partnership Manager at the Classic Learning Test (CLT) and a homeschool graduate, we cover how homeschoolers can not only conquer college entry exams, but use them to make their college dreams a reality.  The Classic Learning Test is "hacking" the teach-for-the test method that dominates conventional schools today. There is no special book or curriculum to prepare for the test. You prepare by having a good education - one rooted in the ideas of traditional, classic education and one that focuses on the formation of the whole student: mind, body, and spirit. We discuss all of this in more detail throughout the interview! Thank you to Regina Gravrok and the CLT for being a part of the podcast!
