[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep during the summer after 10th and take in August (ideally) or September before junior year ramps up. [/quote] I agree. Also, a word about "test prep". The majority of families do not realize that what their kids actually need is math and verbal comprehension instruction. That is not test prep, it's re-learning and solidifying subject matter. It takes months, if not years. Test prep is practicing questions and full exams to become familiar with the pacing/timing, to recognize favorite question modes of examiners, common traps and pitfalls, and know when to use strategies of elimination and guesstimation. Sometimes a kid would do better to have actual math tutoring, or close reading tutoring, rather than spend all their time in test prep courses. [/quote]
