[quote=Anonymous]Standardized tests measure processing speed and grades measure executive function. Plenty of kids can do well in college and be really poor standardized test takers. Your kid is getting decent grades, and sounds like he’s a hard worker. I would focus on your son getting the best grades he can for the rest of HS- get tutors for areas he struggles in and academic supports if needed. Plan on going test optional, there’s no reason to dump time and money into test prep when most colleges out there are don’t require test scores. Don’t overlook smaller schools and LACs, they often provide more access to faculty, along with more academic support for kids who need it. My husband is a professor at an LAC and he spends a lot of time working one on one with students who need extra help with writing, research, etc. [/quote]
