[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very stressed about this.  [b]I have always tested well, and found standardized tests like the SAT and LSAT to be fairly easy to do well on.  My child is the exact opposite.  [/b]I know I need to try to let this go, it is no different than the fact that my child is naturally athletic and I am not.  However, I find it hard to accept that no matter what my child does, the SAT score will probably not be what either of us is hoping for.[/quote]

This is me, too. Spending time in this forum has actually helped me feel very calm about it now that my kid is a senior. I don’t really want her going to college with the stressed out, achievement obsessed kids of these neurotic posters.

Another one like this, I was very type A. DS got a 1300 (11th grade). Grades a mix of A, A-, and a couple Bs with high rigor. The SAT honestly has made me feel good. We don’t need to stress about every little bit now.

Looking at T30-T100 schools, they aren’t expecting 1500, 4.7, started a non-profit. When I look at naviance, they are fairly straightforward about admissions based on test scores and gpa (and assuming regular ECs)  which should be ok for DS at these schools. Lots of good schools at this level. I feel like the next two years will be more calm than if he knocked it out with a 1500+; then there would be the temptation to get all the other pieces for a very top school, when that admission is not guaranteed either.
