A good tutor is well worth the cost for the math portion of the SAT. 3-4 sessions significantly raised my daughter's math score. The tutor was recommended by her AP math teacher.
Bill’s verbal scores on the PSAT were 99th percentile, and his math score about 75%. We’ll have him do more drill with his present program, but if his first run at the SAT disappoints, a tutor is definitely a possibility. He could get admitted anywhere he cares to go at his present level, but he needs financial aid.
