Plus, PP, those are great suggestions, thank you.  Khan academy SAT Prep does pretty much what you are suggesting, I believe.  And it's free.  So that is already leveling the playing field as far as test prep.  [/quote]

It’s more than the actual prep course. Does the child have access to a device to take the Khan course? Does he or she have Internet at home? Or does the child have to go the library to use the Internet? Does the child have a way to get to the library? Does he or she have parents in the house to supervise nightly prep, or do the parents work at night? Does the child work at night? Do the parents know the importance of test prep, and encourage it?[/quote]

In NOVA they do.  Arlington gives out iPads. FCPS is expanding its pilot and every Mass and HS kid gets a laptop next year. Which they can certainly use to Kahn Academy at school or the library— or anywhere with internet.

Plus, I have heard (but don’t know first hand) that FARMS families in NoVA with kids in school can get free internet. [/quote]

And do the counties also pass out surrogate parents to make sure the kids are doing their test prep? Or provide cash subsidies to replace kids getting after school jobs, so they have time to do test prep?[/quote]
