[quote=Anonymous]Lots of bragging here.

OP, nobody can answer for you. There are so many factors at play including her baseline and target score, motivation, whether she tends to be a quick learner, good/bad test taker, learning issues, etc.

I have 3 very different kids. Oldest had zero interest in prep.  I convinced her to take an inexpensive group class (wanted her to study but didn’t want to invest given the lack of motivation). She sat through all the classes but didn’t want to do anything independently. Her score didn’t budge after the class so I’m glad I went the cheap route. It was all a waste. Middle child was super motivated and asked for private. He had a target score about 100 above his Khan Academy practice test. We paid for 8-10 very expensive one hour sessions over a summer. He did a few minutes of homework a day. He achieved his target score. Youngest hasn’t taken it yet. He is a hard worker and easily stressed. He also happens to be a horrible test taker. I would like for him to apply test optional but he insists he wants to try. Given his motivation we are going to give it a try. To minimize stress, I would like to start way early and do a slow approach to prep over a year. A few private sessions to get him started and then taking a practice test section weekly. We will see how that works out. [/quote]
