Pretty much.  The system is so rigged in favor of the rich.[/quote]~1330 and ended up with a 1520.  Took practice SAT, had 4 sessions with the private tutor that focused on the areas needed for improvement.  Next practice test my kid scored a 1510.  Then did 1 hour of tutoring after each practice test (targeted on specific tricks, topics my kid needed to work on, my kid did 2-3 hours of their own work then took another practice test).  We did 4 practice tests after the intake. But my kid's score hovered around 1510/1520 each time.  So they took an actual SAT, got 1520 and we were done.  So 8 -10 hours of tutoring, 5 Practices SATs, 15-16 hours my kid worked outside on their own, and we were done.  IN reality, we could have been done after 4 hours of tutoring and 4-5 hours of outside studying.  
My kid is independent, focused but I'm smart enough to know that their scores would not have gone up as much with just "independent studying".  So with only $500-600 we could have arrived at our results.  But many cannot afford that (in $$$ or time commitment if kid has to work or take care of family/siblings).
