- Toddler If you dc scored 1450+ on SAT's when did they start doing prep or did they?
- My DC scored a 1450 on the practice but we started with a tutor this week to make sure it wasn't a fluke. She mets with the tutor online 1x a week till the exam in April.
- sophmore or junior?
- junior.
- thanks!
- OR: In our school no sophomores take the SAT and they discourage juniors from taking in the fall so they can get the seniors that need to take it first priority.
- junior.
- my ds was scoring 100 points higher on practice tests with his tutor than he scored on the actual SAT
- OR: our fear too
- sophmore or junior?
- there is no reason to start prep until 3mos before the exam

- because it is the recommendation of our school and the top prep companies/tutors. we will probably have dd take a practice exam of SAT and ACT, then decide which is the better...(more)
- why do you say that?
- He never prepped . Some review here and there. A few times practice tests
- Decided to do the ACTs after getting 1390 on a practice SAT
- Did sample SAT and ACT end of sophomore year to see which one would be better. prepped on that until score wasn't going up and then switched to SAT. prepped for 9 months
- 9 months! that's nuts.
- np. is it? If time allows for it, why not?
- I guess the question is what did dc score after all that studying. Could that time have been used for something else? It's a lot on top of my DC's homework, practices, meetings &...(more)
- np. well, if you start early, then you don't have to kill yourself, just chip away at it
- I guess the question is what did dc score after all that studying. Could that time have been used for something else? It's a lot on top of my DC's homework, practices, meetings &...(more)

- Prepped with a few practice tests
- Mine sort of met with a tutor 3 times, got a 1530 and said, I'm done. I know that if he had been willing to focus he could have done better but it's his life. My take is -- only...(more)
- 1530 is phenominal

- Toddler Anyone lease a Subaru Forrester? Looking at 15K miles, premium package. What’s your monthly payment?

- It is "fine" is foolish. Just because you don't get sick doesn't mean it is safe.

- Toddler This post has been disliked 4 times. So I didn't know anything about her and checked out Claudia Conway on Tik Tok. I can't decide if she is simply spoiled brat or if she is legitimately mentally ill.
- Kellyanne Conway is Mommie Dearest
- That explains it. She's a privileged rich brat whose parents were too busy to give her enough attention
- She is mentally ill. Seems like BPD to me: history of suicidal ideation, emotional dysregulation, promiscuous-like behavior
- I don't understand how her parents allowed her to keep her Tik Tok account. She's only 15 and she is jumping around practically naked.
- Kellyanne Conway is Mommie Dearest
