[quote=Anonymous]It seems as if some of you do not realize Khan Academy has FREE test prep for anyone with internet access. By now I believe that is most kids in the U.S.. Doing all of those full length test ( and then studying mistakes) is how my UMC kid got a high 1500 score on the second try. No tutors. Taking away the tests is not leveling the playing field as many have stated. It gives an advantage to kids who are not great problem solvers and who did not master the basics of high school, but may have high grades due to a variety of factors. It seems as if some people on here do not realize that the new SAT (class of 2017) is an achievement test meant to capture how much students learned in high school, not an aptitude test as it was when we took it. No one thinks their high scoring kid is more “worthy” than any other for any college seat. We just want the strengths of our kids to be evaluated just as the strengths of other kids are. [/quote]
