[quote=Anonymous]I have twins--fraternal, same gender. One sat down, took the test and got a 1590. Done. This twin is whip smart with a mind like a steel trip, no anxiety, fantastic test taker. The second twin started with a 1250. I paid for about 30 hours of in person tutoring. The kid would take practice tests every Saturday and then sit with the tutor and go through the wrong answers. About a 3K investment for the tutor's time. Took the test 5 times and got the score up to a 1550. I know it may sound like I'm making this up but it genuinely happened. I will say that my kid who got the one time 1590 score is absolutely the smarter kid (no, I've never verbalize this to them) but it has become obvious over time that kid #1 is just at a next level with regard to intelligence. Kid#2 compensates by being a really hard worker. Having twins adds a new dimension to the college process. [/quote]
