Good point. Thanks. So when did your sophomore start prep?  I am trying not to be too crazy and stress my daughter out.  But I did learn from my two older kids that we need to plan things out sooner and more intentionally.

My DS hasn’t read one single book outside of school sine he finished the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series in elementary.  He just scored a 1510 on the junior year PSAT and had a perfect score on the verbal section.  I think he had a 1320 sophomore year.  In between, he watched a lot of YouTube SAT prep videos.
