Yeah.. prep doesn't seem too effective. That's what they told us at prep school (heh). I mean, they basically just said that we ought to ensure that we have sharpened pencils; adequate batteries for our calculator; a good-night's sleep; and to show up early. I can appreciate how some folks want to do better, and are willing to work for better scores by investing in test-prep. And I can understand how test-prep providers would encourage them to do so, talking up their own services, as any business would. But, I don't think it's that big a thing in the end. If anything, I worry that students who spend a lot of time prepping are being cheated out of their time, money, and education. --- PS: To be clear, students would definitely do well to spend time studying for their future. Just, instead of trying to game the SAT, they can learn something useful, whether that's math, physics, computer programming, philosophy, creative writing, or whatever.
