[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea.  But I will tell you that my DD took a prep class for $230 at Montgomery College and raised her score from 1960 to 2330.[/quote]

And this is why the SAT should not be used for college applications.   If you can raise a score by that much, it means nothing.    My DC had a 2290 the first time he took the test with absolutely zero prep.   I'd bet on him as a thinker over a prepped higher score every time.  [/quote]

Maybe your DC is just lazy and didnt prep. Smart but lazy kid you know?[/quote]

My kid is hardly lazy.   He just tends to look at tests like these as a challenge as opposed to something you prep for.  His, also unprepped physics and math SAT subject tests were perfect scores.  He was also smart enough to know that colleges look at how many times you take the SAT and compare results.   A nearly 400-point jump from one time to the next is going to raise questions.  To most college counselors it suggests extensive prep classes = rich-privileged kid = discounted value of the SAT for that kid's application.
