[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally start no more than 3 months before the test. "Years in advance" is too much, they'll get burned out. You might get 100 to 150 points, but that may not be the tutor so much as the fact that using the tutor forces the kid to take lots of practice tests. If the kid practiced constantly with tests available online, that would usually provide the same benefit as a tutor.[/quote] Agree with this. One thing to note/comment is that some kids just won't be motivated to "do the work and all the practice tests" without that tutor's expectations. That was my kid. And to the person who said something like "You can't take mediocre and turn it into 1500+." Well, DUH! But you can go from 1150 to 1250 and no one would complain about that boost. [/quote]
