[quote=Anonymous]We used Princeton review for one-on-one tutoring. It made a significant difference in terms of understanding how to work through the questions swiftly, how to approach large pieces of text, how to dismiss the "wrong" 2 answers to focus on the 2 more likely correct ones and figure out which was the right choice.

Its kind of a technical skill, taking the SAT and it can be learned.

Also with this tutoring your kid has to take a pre-test and then several other full length tests at home, during the period of tutoring, and while that can feel like a slog, the tests become more familiar and the taking of them becomes more like a muscle memory, like with learning to drive.

This means that when your kid is in a testing center feeling nervous, they are less likely to be distracted by the room / location / sounds of someone slurping water, or tapping their pencil (ok, keyboard) because they've done it a dozen times already.

I would recommend calling them and talking to Chibi Davis who takes in a lot of detail about what you're needing before passing it along to the team who matches your kid with a tutor. Some are more Math orientated, others are more language skilled. They all teach the same methods, but depending on your kids sense of strengths and weaknesses they can match pretty accurately.[/quote]
