[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, with that kind of low score, please don't waste your money on group classes. They're not going to percolate. Your child needs one-on-one attention.

Prep Matters was great for my severely inattentive and low processing kiddo. He ended up with a 35 out of 36 on his ACT. His tutor tried him on the SAT and the ACT, and they determined that ACT was better for him. They kept drilling, talking test strategies, brushing up on forgotten math, etc. Math and science were their areas of focus, since DS was pretty good with the language portion already. He was of course optimally medicated for his ADHD at the time (now he's tapered off his meds in college and is doing well - high school was the most difficult part of his educational path, it seems).

Nothing beats a private tutor. Invest, OP. Higher test scores probably contributed to my son receiving 20K/yr merit aid at his favorite private university, which is nothing to sneeze at.

This. We aren't doing prep matters but highly recommend getting a one on one tutor. My DD is on the 1170 range and we're not longer messing around with group classes or self paced. [/quote]
