Xiggi, Got this all printed out and ready to show S. Here's the question. Imagine a 15 year old boy who does v. well in school and thinks he wants to go to Stanford. Imagine SATs will make a big difference in that goal since his ECs are reading the New Yorker and Discover Magazine and playing an instrument badly. Should he do a test or two first and then read the print out or read the print out first and then do the tests? Or does it not matter one whit? All of this is of course assuming that in the interim he has not moved any further towards the "grunt-only" mode of communication
