American English shadowing exercises are for people interested in expanding their American English accents, whether you are located in the US, North America, or other areas around the world. For the best use of shadowing exercises in American English, listen to a section of audio, pause, and repeat what you hear. Try to use the same pronunciation, intonation, stress, pitch patterns, and linking that you find native English speakers use; record yourself and compare the differences.

In this insightful discussion, Shelley Howard interviews Sean Ivester, founder of Pivot Tutors, about the evolving landscape of college entrance testing and effective test preparation strategies. Sean explains that test prep timing depends largely on the student's academic standing and course progression. He advises parents to avoid overlapping SAT/ACT prep with heavy academic periods like finals or AP exams to protect students' GPA, which remains crucial. The conversation highlights that successful test prep is not about cramming but a focused, diagnostic approach to target and strengthen weaknesses. Sean emphasizes the importance of a diagnostic test as the first step for understanding a student's readiness. He distinguishes the SAT and ACT, outlining their structure, differences, and upcoming changes—for example, the ACT's shortening and optional science section—helping families choose the right test. Sean also addresses the common challenge faced by high-performing students who still struggle initially on standardized tests, clarifying that knowing the material is different from “beating the test,” which requires specific strategies and fresh familiarity with foundational concepts. The conversation covers the pros and cons of various prep methods like apps, AI tools, and tutors, underscoring the critical role of accountability, motivation, and personalized instruction. Sean describes Pivot Tutors' unique approach of pairing students with specialized math and English tutors who are vetted, trained, and seasoned professionals, ensuring high-quality instruction catering to students' needs. The dialogue concludes with practical advice for parents: start early, use diagnostic testing to guide prep plans, and understand that sustained, focused prep yields the best outcomes. Sean stresses that test prep skills are transferable and beneficial well beyond college admission, supporting future academic and professional testing challenges.Highlights• Timing for test prep depends on student's course level and academic load—avoid overlap with finals/AP exams• Diagnostic tests are essential first steps to identify strengths, weaknesses, and guide prep focus• Effective prep targets weak areas instead of broadly reviewing all content to maximize score improvements• SAT is shorter and more complex reasoning-based; ACT is longer with broader math content and a fast pace, soon to be shorter and less time-pressured• High-achieving students often initially underperform on tests due to different test-taking skills needed• Personalized tutoring with specialized math and English tutors enhances accountability, motivation, and progress• Starting test prep early (end of sophomore year or early junior year) allows more flexibility and reduces panicKey Insights• Diagnostic Testing as a Starting Point: Sean underscores that a comprehensive diagnostic test reveals a student's starting point, exposing specific skill gaps and careless errors. This transforms test prep from a guessing game to a data-driven, strategic process, helping families decide when to start prep and which areas demand focus. Without this analysis, students risk inefficient study habits, wasting time and effort on content they already know or missing critical weak spots.• Timing and Academic Intensity Matter: Junior year is typically the most demanding academically, so scheduling test prep during summer or early fall yields better focus and outcomes. Families should avoid final seasons or AP exam periods for test prep to prevent academic overload, preserving GPA and mitigating burnout. This tailored timing recognizes student stress patterns and optimizes study efficiency.• Focused Practice Over Broad Content Review: The most effective way to improve standardized test scores is targeted practice on weak areas identified by diagnostic testing. Merely continuing to practice whole tests leads to plateauing scores. Instead, the cycle of focused drills, review, and retesting enables students to solidify understanding and see measurable gains. This approach shifts prep from volume-based to precision-based, enhancing motivation and confidence.• Choosing Between SAT and ACT Requires Individual Evaluation: No test suits everyone; SAT and ACT differ in length, pacing, question style, and focus areas. For example, the SAT involves complex reasoning and is slightly shorter, while the ACT covers broader math content with faster pacing. Upcoming changes, like the ACT's optional science section and shorter length, further complicate the choice. Therefore, Sean advises students to take practice tests for both and compare scores—avoiding decisions based on hearsay or anecdotal evidence.• Test Scores Reflect Test-Taking Skills, Not Just Intelligence: Top academic performers can score below expectations initially because standardized tests require specialized strategies distinct from classroom learning. Some fundamental concepts tested might have been learned long ago and need refreshing. Effective test prep rebuilds these foundations and teaches "how to beat the test," focusing on timing, question interpretation, and pacing rather than pure intellect.• Accountability and Personalized Instruction are Game-Changers: The challenges of self-motivation and competing academic priorities mean many students struggle to commit regular prep time independently. Professional tutors provide structure, coaching, and encouragement. Pivot Tutors' model of assigning two specialized tutors—one for math, one for English—ensures that students get subject-specific expertise and tailored lesson plans. Rigorous vetting and continuous training of tutors guarantee high teaching quality and effective communication.• Early Planning Eases Stress and Opens Doors: Starting the test prep planning at the end of sophomore year provides ample time for assessment, practice, and adjustment. It avoids the “frantic” last-minute rush many rising seniors experience. Early prep offers the flexibility to try multiple test dates and strategies, increasing chances of reaching target scores and keeping options open for college admissions and scholarships.• Test Prep Skills Provide Long-Term Benefits: Beyond college admissions, mastering standardized testing techniques develops critical thinking, problem solving, and test endurance skills essential for future academic tests like the LSAT, MCAT, or MBA entrance exams. Early investment in effective test prep equips students with lifelong skills to navigate competitive exams and professional challenges.• Navigating Prep Tools: Apps and AI vs. Human Tutors: While online tools and AI like ChatGPT offer convenience, Sean highlights their limitations due to lack of accountability, motivation, and nuanced, personalized feedback. Human tutors facilitate adaptive learning, real-time interaction, and emotional support, which are often crucial to overcome motivational roadblocks and plateaus. Families must weigh student personality and discipline when choosing prep methods.• Tutor Selection and Training Reflect Company Quality: Pivot Tutors' rigorous hiring includes academic degree requirements, high proficiency test scores, and in-person mock tutoring evaluations. This multi-tiered vetting ensures tutors are not only knowledgeable but excellent communicators who can simplify complex concepts. Shadowing experienced tutors and ongoing training help maintain consistent, student-centered pedagogy that respects students' time and academic pressure.• Iterative Process of Testing and Retesting: Sean emphasizes that improvement comes from cycles of testing, reflection, and focused practice—not one-off studying. Continuous assessment allows students and tutors to track progress, refine strategies, and build confidence. This iterative process contrasts sharply with less effective “all content at once” study methods.• Parental Support is Crucial but Must Balance Pressure: Parents play a vital role in encouraging the right preparation habits while avoiding overwhelming their teens. Educating parents about strategic prep planning, early diagnostic testing, and the reality of test demands empowers them to guide their children calmly and effectively, minimizing stress.This interview offers a comprehensive roadmap for families navigating the changing test prep landscape, emphasizing strategic timing, targeted study, professional guidance, and early planning for long-term benefits. and effective communication.Early Planning Eases Stress and Opens Doors: Starting the test prep planning at the end of sophomore year provides ample time for assessment, practice, and adjustment.

American English shadowing exercises are for people interested in expanding their American English accents, whether you are located in the US, North America, or other areas around the world. For the best use of shadowing exercises in American English, listen to a section of audio, pause, and repeat what you hear. Try to use the same pronunciation, intonation, stress, pitch patterns, and linking that you find native English speakers use; record yourself and compare the differences.
