[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My middle schooler always does poorly on standardized tests. He has some anxiety, which may play into it. Is there test prep available for Eleanor Roosevelt or Summit Program at Bowie High? Maybe even some familiarity with the test would help him.

Thanks[/quote]

Don't know of any test prep resources in the county other than private tutoring and a center such as 'Math ETC'.   However based on years of observation I can say test prep in general is a concept we in Prince George's would do well to embrace. Can be expensive, I know, but it's something most of our neighboring counties have us beat by a mile. Anecdotal evidence here however over the years I've known many academically "average" kids who have had great outcomes in college acceptances and merit aid purely due to intensive SAT prep and resulting higher than average scores. I remember back in the day my parents thinking and saying the SAT was an "IQ test" and hence no prep was needed, we need to get off that mindset to help our kids because the test can be gamed with prep.[/quote]
