[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how much of this panic from the parents is that when PSAT scores come out in 9th or 10th grade, [b]they realize that their kids' private schools may not have given them the education they need to actually achieve strong results, or that they haven't really worked hard. [/b] The PSAT/SAT are no longer solely tests of (supposed) aptitude or likeliness to succeed in college. There is specific content you need to master. There is little to no standardized testing at these privates that cater to the wealthy. maybe they truly didn't know they kids were dim. [/quote] I would say "they haven't really worked hard" would be the credited response for most of these kids. Even non-top-tier privates in the LA and SF/Silicon Valley areas have decent test prep programs. [/quote] The top privates here and in LA are incredible. They prep them just fine, even with AP’s and inflated grades. [/quote]
