5 Minutes to College with Mike Bergin

NextStepU has been running a terrifically informative series of short video interviews called 5 Minutes to College. David Mammano, the CEO/Founder of NextStepU, has spent 5 minutes at a time with admissions consultants, career experts, and college sports pros. At last, he’s turned the camera on an expert in test preparation: yours truly!

David and I discuss the following essential points in this video, which you are sure to find informative and possibly even witty:

Whether the SAT & ACT are here to stay
How the ACT differs from the SAT
What 5 steps a student should take to prep for the tests
When should a high schooler prepare

As you imagine, we needed a little more than 5 minutes to cover these topics, but spare just a little more than 7 minutes, and you’ll learn a lot!
