[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before starting serious prep, see if he will take timed SAT and ACT tests to see if he performs better on one than the other.

Some kids probably don't take the 10th grade PSAT very seriously - you need a new baseline and it probably won't be 1200 since it sounds like you have a high achieving student.[/quote]

I think you should at least tackle studying on your own first. That may be enough for a 50-100 point boost. Most test prep classes guarantee a higher score from their first practice test to their last. For us, we  studying a bit on our own, taking practice tests and reviewing to Get a new baseline. THEN will take a prep course to see if they can help us improve 100poimts from there.

I am a math major, so I think I can help DS a bit with review (hence the “we”). I do think a test prep pro has a lot more to offer so will turn it over to them after we give it a shot.[/quote]

I am an actuary and I didn’t even bother helping my two kids review or prep. They need to know tricks on how to calculate quickly since no calculator (unless you have a calculator accomodation) hence use a prep place.[/quote]
