[quote=Anonymous]Look into a new tutor that will do 1-1. My DC used Arborbridge (I'm sure there are others), which had him take a practice test and did a free analysis of his weaknesses and what he needed to focus on. With about 12 hours of 1-1 tutoring, he raised his score from a 31 to a 34. He focused on math mostly, and spent about 2 hours each on English (grammar) and Science, but the tutoring is very focused on the specific types of questions that the kid is missing within those topics, as well. He did maybe 3 additional timed practice tests with them, and they refined the approach each time. His English score went from 30 to 35, for example (it was mostly stuff he knew, but learning what the questions were looking for was an immense help). Agree that SAT is better for a kid that is not a fast reader, but the tutoring approach is the same. [/quote]
