[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think you should at least tackle studying on your own first. That may be enough for a 50-100 point boost. Most test prep classes guarantee a higher score from their first practice test to their last. For us, we studying a bit on our own, taking practice tests and reviewing to Get a new baseline. THEN will take a prep course to see if they can help us improve 100poimts from there. [/quote] This is good advice. Some kids will find they don't need the expensive tutor/prep course depending what the goal is. My kid had a 1360 on the 10th grade PSAT, spent 2 hours on Khan Academy, did one practice test, and got a 1480 early in junior year. That score was fine for him (he took an ACT just to see what happened and got a 34, which is a little better, I think). I did buy him some prep books for both tests, but he never opened them.
