About Elizabeth

She is the author of the industry-acclaimed OUTSMARTING THE SAT (Ten Speed 2008) and co-author of the upcoming Winning the Customer with Lou Imbriano (McGraw Hill 2011).

Elizabeth’s work revolves around examining and cultivating personal development, critical thinking, quality culture, creativity, intelligence, and learning. She investigates these themes throughout her work – within her own writing, professional partnerships, and consulting projects. Many of her ideas debut on her blog StayOutOfSchool.com and may appear tailored for education at Education Debate at Online Schools. She is currently in project development to bring her insights and actionable ideas to a larger, more media-integrated platform.

As a leader in tactical thinking and practical preparation for college entrance tests, Elizabeth creates content about mental toughness, study strategy, and concrete test preparation tactics for the Elizabeth King Coaching blog and has prepared articles for Unigo/Wall Street Journal on Campus. The US Olympic team highlighted her interviews with Olympic gold medalist Barbara Ann Cochran about applying mental toughness to test taking. Her thoughts on testing and education have been referenced in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal on Campus, Oprah Sirius Radio’s Derrick Ashong Experience, and across the web.

Elizabeth and her team coach students from all over the United States to maximize their SAT and ACT scores. Elizabeth’s private consulting goes beyond test taking; she’s coached numerous writers and other creative thinkers to refine and articulate their ideas and create next-step plans that actually foster action, momentum, and accomplishment.
