[quote=Anonymous]Not every kid needs test prep. Lots of time and money is wasted on prep for kids who would get essentially the same scores with or without test prep. If a kid has a high GPA and usually does well on standardized tests, he doesn't really need SAT/ACT prep. His time would be better spent on leadership, sports, arts, whatever EC that he loves and will set him apart as a candidate. Some kids have trouble taking tests and need prep, but many kids just don't need it. By this age, parents know their kids and have seen how they do on many standardized tests over the years. Once you're over 2200 or 32, colleges don't care if a kid has a "perfect" score. There are lots of free and low cost ways to get familiar with the questions and directions ahead of time, so there is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on test prep. I would save my money and put it away for college or retirement. [/quote]
