[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Junior did the Princeton Review 1400 course online.  DC had a 9th grade PSAT score of 1220.  DC got a 1430 (750 verbal and 680 math) on the SAT at the end of the summer and then a 1440 on the PSAT this fall, which equates to commended level.  DC is redoing the Princeton Review course (it is no cost because of their satisfaction guarantee but I rebought the books so DC could start fresh) and will retake the SAT in March.  This was DC's choice and having a class is much better for DC's temperament than self study would be.

We had a similar experience with my DS. He had PSAT scores of 1210 in 9th grade and 1220 in 10th grade.  He took the Princeton Review in-person course and got 1460 (680 V/780M).  As the DC gets older, the bump-up from PSAT to SAT should shrink, but a 250 point gain is still great.

I do agree that it is a matter of motivation and discipline.  Some kids can do all of this online or using books. However, interacting with a teacher (and interacting with fellow students/victims) helps.

We will do this again for my younger DS.[/quote]
