[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are learning to take the test and answer the questions right. They’re not learning the actual information behind the questions. This is why test prep works.[/quote] Well….not necessarily. My sons both took mock SATs the beginning of sophomore year at their school on a Saturday. They had never seen the test prior. Knew nothing about the sections or format going on. At 15 they both scored flat out 33. They really didn’t do any test prep after that. Just went to school another year. Looked at Barron’s guide over summer and one scored a 35 and the other a 36. First try. All the test prep in the world can only raise a score so much. Crisis why the college board flags scores with big jumps from prior exam. I know kids that have taken the SAT 6 times and there scores barely moved. There is raw intelligence behind it too. [/quote]
