[quote=Anonymous]Please - its not uncommon to be a great standardized test taker but not get great grades.  I am a classic example, high IQ but a total underachiever academically.  I always killed it on standardized tests - was a NMSF but my grades weren't good enough to make me a finalist, my SATs were 98th or 99th% and my LSATs, which I went into with zero prep or even knowing what was on it and totally hung-over, were also high 90th%  - but my grades from high school thru law school were only Bs or B+ because I made minimal effort.  I drove my poor parents crazy.  Maybe they shouldn't have constantly told me how brilliant I was.  My kids thankfully have much better work ethic, but standardized test aren't as effortless for them.  Of course, I praise their work and attitude not their IQ (which they dont know).  To do really well (over 90th) my kids need to do prep work although we never bothered to "prep" for an ERB. That is ridiculous. Why would anyone hire a tutor for the ERB?  What a waste of time and money and the benefit goes to the school.[/quote]
