[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice is to have him prep this summer (more than 3 months of focused prep is unnecessary) - that way he is not juggling it with academic classes. The way to decide on which test is to take diagnostic practice tests of each - w/o any prep - and see which you do better on. If a tossup, I would personally choose the SAT, as it is digital and shorter. Then he can take the test for real in Oct or Nov of junior year, and has the opportunity to retake if necessary in December or March or May. I would not advise waiting until senior year to test.[/quote]

This advice obviously comes from someone benefiting from unearned white / UMC privilege.[/quote]

Everyone is dumping on you for pointing out the white privilege.  I am curious how this is white privilege in the first place.

Test prep is not even close to being UMC privilege.  [/quote]
DP but I’m assuming it’s the idea that the kid would have a summer to debate to test prep without needing to have a job, etc. That’s whether or not the test prep is through a paid organization. Those can be very pricey, at which point yes, that’s UMC privilege.

But also, it’s what OP asked about, so I don’t think anyone was making unreasonable assumptions that OP’s kid could afford to devote the summer to test prep. [/quote]
