Lots of people have their kids tutored for this test. OP, you are doing nothing different than tons of other people, it's perfectly fine.

Wow, PP, judgmental much? She didn’t ask for your opinion about her child’s chances (which you inferred because she was asking for a test taking tutor - news flash: many people who are self-directed and self-motivated are terrible test-takers). OP wanted tutor recs, not a sanctimonious lecture aimed at keeping her kid from shooting for something s/he wants.

If I recall correctly from last year’s info session, the multiple choice is graded first.

Then they read the essays of those students who did well on the multiple choice, and decide who to invite for an interview.

No recommendations, but I understood it to be a multiple choice exam, no essays.

Hi All,

My 8th grader is applying to sit for the SWWHS exam. Anyone have any test prep tutors or companies they used for this exam? He could use some test taking skills help and tightening up his math and essay skills.

Thanks!
