Same, but this strategy is best for kids who start out at the top.

Public school parent here and we used Kathy McIntosh based on neighborhood recs for HSPT prep. She is through the Capital Learners group and is fantastic.

Mr. Dugan's prep courses are popular at our NoVA Catholic school. I think a couple kids did in-person. Mine did online.

This will give your student an opportunity to test under actual testing conditions and give you a baseline score to see which areas they need to work on most.


Saint John Paul the Great does too. They typically have spaces available even when the others are full and have a waitlist.
