New SAT format

I agree with you, @london203. I think the relative lack of prep/tutors will be some kids’ advantage – I’m hoping my kid is one of those! He’s a relatively good natural test-taker, and in the past test prep hasn’t really improved his scores very much. If anything, his problem is that he’ll make a few relatively easy mistakes, that’s just the way he is, and test prep doesn’t help him avoid those. But as compared to some kids who improve tremendously if they practice, practice, practice, he may do better. At least that’s my theory!
