[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The PP above is right. He can be a little slow to process but is pretty intelligent. And I rechecked - he got 1250 on the first SAT attempt, still not a high score, and maybe it’s lower from anxiety. He’s not that social, has a close but small group of friends, and has never been a joiner. We’ll definitely do some test prep. Are there any good places to do that in person that aren’t a fortune?[/quote]

I’m the poster wondering if a lower-stress, less-selective school might be a better fit.

What does your son want to major in or do for work, and why would he want to go some place other than a Norfolk State-level school? What does he really think of as an appropriate school? Does he understand what he needs to have and do to get into what he thinks of as a suitable school?

Could it be he’d simply get what he wants and needs, with no fuss, out of a regional school?

If he thinks that kind of school would be poor fit and he wants to get his test scores up, so he can aim for more selective schools:

- He should start by going to his pediatrician and figuring out where to go to get diagnosed

- To improve math scores: I think Mathnasium does a great job and provides good value for the money.

- Verbal scores: The most important thing is that he should read the Washington Post or the Washington Times every day.
