The SAT as the Easiest Application Hack

We’re diving into one of the most misunderstood parts of college admissions: the SAT. MacKenzie is joined by student cohost Elle, an Alpha veteran who recently scored a 790 in math. Elle breaks down Alpha’s approach to the SAT and explains why the test isn’t an intelligence measure but a reflection of how well students can study, prepare, and perform under pressure. We talk through why and how Alpha believes any student can score in the top 10% with the right preparation. If you’ve ever wondered whether the SAT is beatable, Elle’s going to change your mind.
