[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-I have a kid with anxiety in 9th grade and I anticipate that she is going to struggle with the timed nature of the SAT. Is there anything you would have done differently like started practice tests earlier?[/quote]

I think the practice tests are helpful, but only if your kid takes the time to go over all the answers. Mine didn’t, which is why she saw no improvement from March to June. Her score actually went down, which could just be a bad test day. Too many practice tests with no improvement feels like spinning wheels and can create a stuck mentality. I’m really glad she did the tutoring. There were more gaps than we realized. She’s taking the test now, so we’ll know more about the outcome in a few weeks. But the difference in her peace of mind was worth it already.

P.S. Make sure you leave lots of time to get to the test site. We drove to Springbrook and the traffic was so bad, kids started walking and running 1/2 mile away. That’s tough for a high anxiety kid.[/quote]
