Let’s say that your kid is very self-motivated.

If he were to take the SAT, ACT, or any other important standardized exam, would you prefer that he takes a prep course with a reputable company or that he self-studies?

In your opinion, which method generally produces the best results? How much do you think, on average, that it would take someone with middling scores to significantly improve with either method?

What have your experiences been like?
