Episode 275 | Megan Padden | O.W.L. Educational Services | The EdisonOS Podcast

In this episode, Megan Padden, owner and founder of O.W.L. Educational Services, reveals how the digital SAT transformation has created unexpected ripple effects across all standardized testing, including the new Enhanced ACT. Drawing from nearly 20 years in test prep, Megan explains how COVID-era educational gaps are still visible today—she can instantly identify which grade level a student experienced their "COVID year" based on specific skill deficits.

She discusses her diagnostic-first approach using full practice tests to target individual weaknesses, and shares why she believes in using multiple resources rather than "reinventing the wheel," explaining how she strategically moves students between easier and harder materials to build confidence before crushing overconfidence.
