[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a hard working student but not a great test taker. She’s registered for the SAT in August and has some time this summer to prep but we want to be as efficient as possible. She has accommodations for anxiety and so far her prepping has consisted of an 8-hour online boot camp and self study with Khan, but she’s been more focused on her schoolwork and AP exams this year so hasn’t been as disciplined as she could be with the SAT prep. She’s taken both the SAT and the ACT and prefers the SAT so we won’t bother with the ACT again.

Fall 2023 PSAT 1120
March 2024 SAT 1280
April ACT 27
June 2024 SAT 1270

Would tutoring help a kid like this? She’ll need at least a 1400 to submit her scores to her preferred schools. Her performance is just below the midpoint for her high performing public school. Would you pay for tutoring in this situation or give up and TO?

I’m leaning toward tutoring because I think DD might regret not doing her best - DH thinks it’s not worth it and she’s probably maxed out.[/quote]

Are you kidding? Everyone gets tutoring. And most are anxious before tests. Total BS to get extra time. Hope your DD isn’t a surgeon or trial lawyer.[/quote]

And how could a kid who has never had tutoring be maxed out? [/quote]
