[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son did neuropsych testing recently. His FSIQ was 131. His junior year PSAT score was 1050 which is dead average. People seem to think that kids who score lower on tests are dumb or shouldn't even bother going to college. What a shame. I'm glad that test-optional exists because these scores are pretty meaningless out of context. My brother scored in the 1400s when he was in HS. That was a high score back then. He failed out of college because he didn't do the work. He was so used to coasting along in public school and then he went to a real college and failed out.[/quote]

My dd, hs class of 2020, went from a 1010 on the sophomore PSAT to a 1310 on the Spring of junior year SAT. Only took SAT twice and PSAT twice.

But that’s probably because she didn’t take algebra II until junior year. [/quote]

OP here. He just took the SATs a few weeks ago and got a 1100. No magic happened between October and March. He's in algebra 2 this year and he did improve in math but only by 40 points.[/quote]

PP here. I would encourage your child to keep practicing. The math and grammar are much easier to improve on than the verbal section. Get Erika Meltzer’s grammar book. [/quote]

No thanks. I'd rather save the money from test prep for tuition. He can apply pretty much anywhere as TO. It's not worth the stress to a kid who already has mental health issues.[/quote]
