| I would think it is like any business of this sort. Some will be less than honest, others will be very honest. The one I am aware of through a friend says they just use readily available SAT type test to get a real baseline. Then go from there. From what I was told they focus on teach test taking tricks and push the student to work on their vocabulary a lot. I agree with those who say do it on your own. D was very successful studying herself, allowed her to set her own schedule, rather than have to conform to someone elses. However, I do think that if the student is not self motivated or needs someone to "crack the wip" then one of these programs can be good just because it makes them study. |
