[quote=Anonymous]Please, please don't force your son to the 2 hours of studying and SAT prep course.

It's so not worth your money and his time.  I believe that your son is much like my DS and will find a way to spend two hours not doing the studying, being miserable and not getting better scores on the test.

We are working through things with my DS right now after his freshman year of college.

FWIW, he took the SATs once, scored below 1000 and we knew that taking them again would be not be worth it.   He applied and was accepted at 4 schools.

He did well enough his first semester, but put all of his social life eggs into one basket in and it didn't work out and that put him into a tailspin 2nd semester which led to some very poor results, which if we were all honest with ourselves, we could have probably headed off.

He just signed up to take (2) classes at the local CC over the summer to see if he can get back on track.  If he does and we all feel good, he'll head back to school.  If not, he'll stay at home and attend CC and continue to work at his part time job.

Our son was a willing participant in getting tested for ADHD, getting diagnosed and taking meds.

Good luck with your son.[/quote]
