[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spending the $1k is possible yet will be felt in budget.

So, I’m wondering how necessary is this prep? My kid is likely to benefit from the external motivation to study through a teacher as opposed to studying on their own with Khan Academy. Technically, I think it would work better to have them take a class.

Yet I read that the increase in score is modest, so is it worth $1k?

As background, kid took PSAT and scored 1150, which I think equates to 1300-something on SAT. Strong writer with good vocabulary. Slightly anxious test taker. 3.9 GPA.

1150 on the PSAT equates to 1150 on the SAT. Perhaps you're thinking of the average increase in score between the taking of the PSAT and the SAT?[/quote]

Maybe we are referencing different things? I saw charts that “translate” the PSAT score into an SAT score. The total points are not the same so not sure how it could be completely equal.

This was just one source I looked at:
