[quote=Anonymous]Did he take the PSAT last fall as a practice? Many local schools offer that, and it can be an early good barometer, without prep, for what is likely to be useful.  If he did great (which for a 10th grader is at least 200 points lower than eventual likely SAT score) then perhaps can just urge him to take practice tests and study on own over summer, and then see how "real" PSAT goes.  However, if he is not very motivated, and one particular section perhaps was much worse than others, then perhaps investing in some sessions at a place like Prep Matters over the summer makes sense. That is what we did with our DD who had some test anxiety and quite a skewed score on her 10th grade PSAT (one section much lower than other two) and just about 4 sessions with Prep Matters and doing their timed practice tests made a huge difference, she ended up a NMSF and only had to take SATs once, so in her case their diagnostics and very targeted intervention really helped, and more efficient and in the end cheaper than taking  semester long group class and/or having to take SAT multiple times
