You can know the material and still lose points to the conditions.

The SAT and ACT don't only measure what you know. They measure how well you start on command, hold focus for hours, recall under pressure, and work at a fixed pace in a silent room. When your brain doesn't run that way, the test quietly costs you points you actually earned. That is not a you problem. It's a map problem.

Twenty-two cards, checklists, and trackers that turn "study for the test" into something your brain can actually hold onto. Print the one that solves the problem in front of you. Ignore the rest until it's useful.

  • Decide whether the SAT or ACT fights your brain less
  • Prep maps for 12, 8, 4, and 2 weeks + the 25-minute session
  • Accommodations, packing, and sensory-regulation checklists
  • Recovery cards for when a section falls apart
  • A one-pager for the parent or supporter in your corner

WHEN YOU'RE NEURODIVERGENT
Test strategy, accommodations, and executive-function tools for ADHD, dyslexic, and autistic students

The full book

When the toolkit isn't enough, here's the whole map.

The SAT and ACT, When You're Neurodivergent is the complete, neurodivergent look at both exams: how they really work, where they collide with an ADHD, autistic, dyslexic, dyscalculic, or anxious brain, and exactly how to prepare, claim your accommodations, and put the score you already have onto the page.

Both tests decoded section by section. Prep plans that survive real life. Dedicated chapters for every profile. Test-day and recovery scripts for when it falls apart.

Available in paperback. Access is not cheating. Neither is navigation.

We were not missing intelligence. We were missing a map.

Overbrained is a collective of neurodivergent humans building the maps we needed and never got. We believe access is equity.
