[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is your DD still taking an SAT class in the fall of senior year?  Didn't she get all that over with last year?  My senior finished SAT prep last March.  If she's taking the SATs again in October that means she must not have done well enough last year.  I can't imagine there is an Ivy bound kid at any of the top schools who wouldn't have taken the SAT's last year.  Something is fishy here.[/quote]

Most kids score higher on their SAT during the senior year retake.  Our counselor said at DD's school most kids go up 100-150 points unless they were already in the 2300 range.  DS scored 200 points higher on his second try which he took senior year.  It's not that surprising that a key who wanted to improve an SAT score would take a prep class.  Some prep classes are even free the second time around depending on circumstances.  When you look at a schools's reported SAT scores, those include the senior year retakes, which are usually higher.[/quote]

I know all that, but the OP insists that her DD is already guaranteed a spot at a top Ivy.  You don't get there with scores that are low enough that you are still doing a prep class your senior year. [/quote]

Exactly. Which is why this thread smells of troll.[/quote]
