Call me old school if you want, but a good start might be learning to spell "prepping" correctly.


Spelling doesn't count on the SAT. :roll:

Welcome to HB!


Maybe not, but throw that crap on a college application see what happens.


You should start with improving your reading comprehension skills.

Any SAT program, private tutoring will help immensely but the kid has to study vocabulary daily, & math weekly to prep. I know a player who thought she was doing all the right things by getting her 3.0 but when she took her SAT's they were so low she couldn't take advantage of any D 1 offer (she had 3) & ended up in a JC.. Of course that was a Los Angeles Unified student. I sent my kids to tutors just to prep for private school exams & spent thousands of $...worth every penny because in the end it must be remembered they are Student/Athletes...in that order

You should have your DD check at the career or counseling center at school...usually Princeton Review or SAT prep classes are held at the school. Also have her take both SAT and ACT because most schools will accept the higher of the 2 scores...

This is a great opportunity for Joe to remind us that the ACT is completely worthless. :o

80% of the Universities will think twice of making an offer to a student with only a 3.0 GPA. I've seen some teams advertise on this blog requiring players to have only a 2.5 - 3.0 GPA to be on the team. Better have higher requirements than that. I have seen many softball players over the years go nowhere because of low academics.

I suppose one could say the SAT is not necessary either.
