[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Langley's mom here.  I don't know what kids at Wakefield HS do in the summer but at Langley, I do know a lot of kids including mine, especially Asians, attend SAT prep class for eight straight weeks from M-F, 9am-4pm in the summer at the cost of around 6K.  That probably explains why they have better scores than kids from Wakefield.[/quote]

Wow.  Mom with very young kids here.  Does that really pay off as far as much better scores? 
It seems like a crazy intense time investment.  But times have changed I guess?[/quote]

My daughter graduated from Woodson HS in 2002.  She took the SAT in 10th grade and scored 1150.  My "tiger" wife was very upset and sent her to a seven weeks SAT boot camp run by Korean in the summer of 10th and 11th grade.  She took the SAT again in 11th grade and scored 1350.  She took it again in 12th grade scored 1530.  She was accepted into UVA.  There is a downside to all this.  After graduation, she refused to talk to my wife all these years until recently because of what happened even though looking back she is very grateful for it.

To answer your question, the answer is yes but.....[/quote]
