Lauren Gaggioli is a Number 2 Pencil Nerd. At least, that’s what her dad nicknamed her in high school because she actually enjoys taking tests. After graduating from New York University with a BFA with Honors in Theater, Lauren rediscovered her love of scantrons and began tutoring the ACT and SAT throughout Southern California. She is the founder of Higher Scores Test Prep, an online SAT & ACT prep company. She is also the host of The College Checklist Podcast, a podcast about all things college admissions. Lauren continues to take the SAT & ACT today and enjoys the experience just as much as she did in high school. (Yes, really…)
