[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the kid. I think the biggest question is whether it matters and whether the test score is in line with the kids' grades. One of my kids did test prep and not only didn't it help, but scores kept going down because her anxiety increased. She eventually applied to a test-optional school and was accepted. The other kid did more than one SAT prep but kept scoring significantly below ability (grades were 4.0W, had a B in BC Calc but couldn't break 500 on either section of the SAT). Kid then did three tutoring sessions with an ACT tutor to learn the format of that test, took the ACT and scored much better (a 30) and that's the score they used. [/quote]
