[quote=Anonymous]DC went from 33 on his own to 35 with some test prep. Maybe five sessions. ACT is a fast test, so learning tricks and strategies was useful. I don't think he became more intelligent. Just smarter about how to take this particular test. For the kind of schools he was interested in, it was very useful. But no tutor is going to turn a 23 into a 34. Or a 1040 into a 1510. A good tutor will help if the kid is self-disciplined to begin with and does all the studying and practice tests. And is motivated. But if it's not there it's not there. A really motivated student will get 2-3 points on the ACT and 100-250 on the SAT if they have the disposition to do the work. SAT prep is not Jesus. Going to have to look elsewhere for miracles.
