You’re not a bad test taker | Tyler Paras | TEDxYouth@UpperStClair

Standardized exams play a major role in determining our career trajectories, but most of us consider ourselves bad test takers. Tyler Paras, MD, who struggles with several learning disabilities, explains why he believes bad test takers have the potential to be great. . In his talk, Tyler explains the three ideas that helped him become a great test taker and why he believes anyone can do the same. From a young age, Tyler struggled with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and auditory processing disorder. After sub-par performances on standardized exams throughout high school, he scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT, the entrance exam for medical school. He later graduated Summa Cum Laude from Westmont College, became a research scholar at Harvard Medical School, received his MD from the University of Pittsburgh, and is now an orthopaedic surgery resident at the University of California San Diego. Tyler is passionate about medical education. He started an academic advising company for undergraduates and was a leader for the medical board exam test preparation program at the University of Pittsburgh. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
