I have paid for the external prep for both of my DDs and it did pay off - both are/will be NMFs and taking advantage of the scholarships that come with it. I will say our prep courses were less than $1000 and the course they took is very well respected in this area with proven results. It kept my DDs focused on it, gave them testing and time strategies and were able to work thru any issues. Also, prep for the PSAT is also prep for the SAT. My oldest D did not take a NMF scholarship but received a full tuition for SAT scores. In total, I expect over $200,000 in scholarships for a $2000 investment. Maybe the $2000 wasn’t necessary but it did help. Also, a friend’s son missed the cutoff by 1 question this year and he did not do outside prep. He wants to go to a school with a full scholarship for NMF - that 1 question costs $100,000. Both him and has mother are questioning that decision now.
