- ceejayoz 5mo agoSAT prep is much more than just taking practice exams.
- jeffbee 5mo agoThe person to whom I responded seemed to imply that it consists chiefly or entirely of taking practice exams. I merely wish to point out that if you want your kid to take SAT practice exams every month you can do it for free at home.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoSuch a "SAT test prep course" is going to involve more than just self-guided practice exams. It'll include feedback and coaching to address deficits revealed by those practice exams.
- jeffbee 5mo agoYou seem to be arguing with someone else.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoNo; I'm saying "just take practice exams" isn't what we're really talking about. They are merely a part of high-end test prep offerings.
- zahlman 5mo agoI actually took fairly involved test prep way back when (and didn't end up actually writing the SAT) and there really wasn't anything to it beyond the practice exams that I couldn't have figured out myself.
- criddell 5mo agoThis is exactly right. Writing each practice exam only takes a few hours and this course last months. The reset of the time is filled with all the things you talked about. Plus, for some kids writing a practice exam at home isn’t the same thing as a simulated seating with kids all around and a proctor in the room.
