[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, he can likely get to 1400 with a LOT of work - but he needs to be motivated. Agree though that the math section is where one improves the most with prep. [b]Verbal score is harder to improve.[/b] ACT is much easier to improve with test prep so consider that instead.[/quote]

If it is more difficult to improve on the verbal section than the math section, does that mean that kids who do better on the verbal section are more intelligent than kids who do better on the math section?[/quote]

What is intelligence? What it means is that it's harder to move the needle on the verbal section. Maybe scoring 95+ percentile on the math and scoring lower on verbal means you're a better learner and vice versa means you have good intuition for language but aren't that great a learner. [/quote]

Or maybe that you had crappy math education in your school district.  Because it's easier to voraciously read independently than to teach yourself math going up to Algebra 2 by yourself.[/quote]
