My kid's only strength is academics, OP. He got into college solely based on that. So he had to take standardized tests to bolster his profile. He has learning disabilities as well (2e type), and he's slow. Adding tutoring for standardized testing was a burden, but he did it anyway. Got a 35 on his ACT. I think it helped get him a reach acceptance, and helped with offers of merit aid at safeties. He took the safety with merit aid.

Congrats, but how is this answering OP's question about sports practice?[/quote]

PP you replied to. I was trying (badly), to say that my child has challenges that made it hard for him to fit in test prep. Even without many extra-curriculars, and no sports at all, he worked all out and sometimes went to bed at 3am. Not because he was goofing around.  But he did it anyway, because there really wasn't anything else he could stand out in.

He's a college freshman now and did surprisingly well the first semester, but I can tell you that the last two years of high school were BRUTAL. [/quote]
