63. How Many Prep Resources are Too Many Prep Resources? [Mailbag]

It's easy to feel like more is better when it comes to preparing for your standardized test. More instructional videos. More practice problems. Another book. Another course.

But the reality is that more is not always better on high-stakes exams, as it can lead to uncertainty -- and therefore wrong answers -- during the time pressure of test day. Instead, we explain in this episode why it's important to have "one voice" as you're learning the underlying content and test-taking strategies in preparation for your exam. We also tell you how to find that voice and make recommendations for resources you can trust.
