oh shoot. this thread has really gone off the rails if we're posting TJ SAT stats. Here's some simple math -- if TJ kids are so smart than why don't all of them score between 2300 and 2400 on the SATs and become National Merit finalists off their PSATs? My son and two of his friends did, and they're not even at TJ?

and they did that by just eating breakfast that day and getting a good night's sleep the night before the test, right?

[b]funny you should say that. none of the three did SAT prep. I think my son may have looked at some sample problems the night before.[/b] [/quote]

Funny!  [b]If your 3 children knew you were telling the whole world this tall story about them I guarantee you they would be ashamed and embarrassed.  Why do you shame your family with such rubbish?  Are you that selfish and vain?[/b]

Well, good luck with the SAT next year.  And I can assure you that while I sadly bow to selfishness and vanity on occasion, I am not lying.  It bothered me too that my son didn't want to take a prep class like most kids seem to now.   But he's stubborn, so there was little I could do.  Fortunately, he was right in his assessments.  As were his friends.  As  others on these forums have noted despite the lemming-like insistence that you have to prep for the SAT, I think if you're a certain kind of kid who would score on the higher end anyway, it really doesn't matter.

And no, I don't know where the 3 are going to college yet, as early decision aps are only due tomorrow.[/quote]
