[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid just took the August SAT, and he got a disappointing score. He’s a junior; he did pretty well on the PSAT last year without doing any prep. For the SAT he took a prep class but his score on the SAT was lower than the PSAT when converted (was 92nd percentile in the PSAT and fell to 87th percentile for the actual SAT).

I realize this is not the end of the world, and DS was disappointed but not super upset. But I think he’s capable of doing better.  He’ll take the PSAT again in October, so we’ll get another data point then.

Any suggestions on how to proceed? I’m inclined to wait and see how the PSAT goes before making any decisions. Should we look at the ACT? Try private tutoring for the SAT? Not worry and just go test optional? (his grades are great so far) I’d appreciate any tips from those who have BTDT. [/quote]
